Scientists are striving to discover new semiconductor materials that could boost the efficiency of solar cells and other electronics. But the pace of innovation is limited by the speed at which researchers can manually measure important material properties.
The 2025 Major League Baseball season certainly started with a bang—at least for the New York Yankees.
ORNL researchers have found a way to double the tensile strength of carbon-fiber composites by reinforcing the material with a thin layer of PAN nanofibers. A human hair is approximately 100 times wider than one of these fibers.
Stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum, carbon fiber is a staple in aerospace and high-performance vehicles. Now, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to make it even stronger.
Streamlining the transition from scan-to-CAD involves selecting the right tool set for reverse engineering.
Humanetics is the world’s largest manufacturer of anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs), commonly known as crash test dummies.
When manufacturing tolerances shrink to the micron, and part geometries become increasingly complex, the margin for measurement error disappears.

A team from MIT Lincoln Laboratory has built and demonstrated wide-band selective propagation radar (WiSPR), a system capable of seeing out various distances at millimeter-wave (mmWave or MMW) frequencies.
Imagine what life would be like without GPS, something you use all the time without thinking about where it came from.
