New research into project management in software engineering shows that the most successful systems are not the ones that ...

As Japan takes the final steps toward restarting the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, the world’s largest nuclear facility, familiar debates are resurfacing: reactor safety, seismic risk, and ...

Modern factories are automated, but not where it hurts most. Across the US, workers still perform repetitive, physically punishing jobs: lifting heavy materials, feeding machines hundreds of times per ...

Operating on other planets pushed NASA to rethink even the most basic technology. To handle extreme terrain, temperature swings, and vacuum conditions, engineers redesigned the wheel from the ground ...

Optimization problems often involve situations in which the user's goal is to minimize and/or maximize not a single objective function, but several, usually conflicting, functions simultaneously. Such ...

Reshoring meant to prevent concrete slab deflection under its own weight, similar to that shown in this photo of another project above, became a point of controversy among the Philadelphia hotel ...

From medical devices to the packaging that keeps food fresh, polymers quietly shape modern life. At Case Western Reserve University, few people understand—and influence—that reality more than João ...

Spaceflight is becoming safer, more frequent, and more sustainable thanks to the largest computational fluid flow simulation ever ran on Earth. Inspired by SpaceX’s Super Heavy booster, a team led by ...

Researchers in the United States have used an exascale supercomputer to perform the largest fluid dynamics simulation ever. It surpassed one quadrillion degrees of freedom in a single computational ...
