IT was shown recently by Wightman, Trivelli, and Sheppard (of the Research Laboratory of the Eastman Kodak Company) that when single-layer plates were given a very short exposure to light and then ...

Engineers detail new technology that allows them to build complex mechanisms into the exterior of a structure without taking up any actual space below the surface. This new class of mechanisms, called ...

Real science has finally caught up to the science fiction of Iron Man’s transforming exoskeleton suit. In a paper published today in Science Robotics, engineers at Brigham Young University detail new ...

(PROVO, UT, Feb. 13, 2019) It took just over 10 years, but real science has finally caught up to the science fiction of Iron Man's transforming exoskeleton suit. In a paper published today in Science ...

Mechanical engineers have taken inspiration from Iron Man’s morphing suit and the Transformers’ mutating, robotic bodies to create a new first-of-its-kind set of mechanisms. This new class of ...

BYU Mechanical Engineering Professor Larry Howell and students explain developable mechanisms and how they work. (BYU Photo) Think Iron Man. That’s what BYU research team members were thinking when ...
