On the surface, hyperscale and microscale data centers seem like opposing ideas for the future of data centers. But the reality is that they are opposite sides of the same coin, or at least ...

Microscale implantable drug delivery systems (IDDSs) have advanced the control of drug delivery parameters, providing better disease control through more accurate, targeted and less painful drug ...

In the ever-evolving landscape of technological innovation, the combination of precision engineering and additive manufacturing has given rise to a revolutionary concept: microscale 3D printing. This ...

Acoustic metamaterials—architected materials that have tailored geometries designed to control the propagation of acoustic or elastic waves through a medium—have been studied extensively through ...

A new study finds that robust superlubricity can be achieved using graphite and hexagonal boron nitride, which exhibit ultra-low friction and wear. This is an important milestone for future ...

Victor M. Bright of the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering will deliver his Distinguished Research Lecture “Microscale Sensors and Machines” virtually on Tuesday, November 2 from 4–5 ...

A recent article in Nature Chemical Engineering presented a microscale, soft, and flexible lithium-ion droplet battery (LiDB), developed using lipid-supported droplets synthesized from a biocompatible ...

Knots are known for boosting the strength of materials, from the tiniest twists of DNA to (potentially) the very fabric of the universe. Now, Caltech engineers have developed a new material consisting ...

3D printed microparticles have a variety of uses, including the development of microelectronics and pharmaceuticals, and the manufacturing of complex parts, but they require precise control and manual ...

A new study shows how micro-scale 'rockets,' powered by acoustic waves and an on-board bubble motor, can be maneuvered through 3D landscapes of cells and particles using magnets. A new study from the ...
