Engineers predict optimal magnetic fields for suppressing instabilities in Fusion reactors
Fusion processes are present wherever we look. However, the process drives the sun and stars has long eluded physics here on Earth. Fusion sounds too good to be true. By...
Bioengineered Lungs Grown in a Lab Transplanted Into Pigs
The average wait in the UK for a lung transplant is three to six months. There are more patients need of lungs than there are available donor organ. Bioengineers at...

Study shows that during a heat-wave we actually can’t think straight
It's not just you. A new paper from Harvard researchers has shown that when it gets hot it really is more difficult to think straight. With temperatures continuing to hit...
Hybrid fiberglass-concrete-steel technique produces harder, better, faster, stronger bridges
Civil engineering at the University of Queensland, Australia have developed a hybrid fibreglass-concrete-steel bridge technique which is three times stronger and three times lighter than existing methods.
