by Srinivas Iyengar One of the most awaited technologies on the verge of moving out of laboratories and set to enter commercial production is nanotechnology. There is so much buzz about nanotechnology that industries, from cosmetics, healthcare, and automobiles to aerospace, expect big disruptions due to nanotech. In the race for nano supremacy, I see … Read more

Infectious diseases such as malaria remain a leading cause of death in many regions. This is partly because people there don’t have access to medical diagnostic tools that can detect these diseases (along with a range of non-infectious diseases) at an early stage, when there is more scope for treatment. It’s a challenge scientists have … Read more

Holly Greenberg was a 24-year-old graduate student in the mechanical engineering lab at Brigham Young University (BYU) when she stumbled on the idea that folded paper cranes might have any relevance to her work. Greenberg was interested in compliant mechanisms – that is, objects whose motion comes from bending, folding, and twisting. One of her … Read more
