Engineered 3D tissue systems can better mimic human biology and thus meet the growing need for more effective in vitro models.

The scientific method—hypothesis-driven design and execution of an experiment—is great . . . except when it could kill you (or me). That’s why, for ...

The successful regeneration of tissue-to-tissue interfaces through a bioinspired approach may enable the translation of tissue engineering technologies from bench to bedside.

Two significant challenges in the field of tissue engineering are the simultaneous formation of multiple types of tissues ...

Gaming techniques can save money, time, and resources while making departments and organizations more agile.

Gordian Knots

Thousands of years ago in ancient Phrygia, there was a massive mound of tangled ropes that was so impressive, it had a name: the Gordian knot. Legend was that whoever could ...

Informational needs in automobiles are transcending mechanical, electronic, and software boundaries to include programmed services for the driver and the vehicle itself.

Over the past two decades, automobile journey durations have doubled. Furthermore, travelers increasingly use their vehicle as a ...

Electric vehicles show promise in minimizing reliance on fossil fuels, but their widespread use will likely require a revolutionary advance in energy storage technology.
