Researchers at Texas A&M University are taking a traditional manufacturing tool -- metal cutting -- and developing a more accessible method for understanding the behavior of metals under extreme conditions. Metal cutting -- scraping a…

When a liquid jet is squirted through a nozzle, it will eventually break up into a string of droplets. Through previous studies, researchers determined that the distance from the nozzle where this breakup occurs depends on a wide…

Inflatable soft actuators that can change shape with a simple increase in pressure can be powerful, lightweight, and flexible components for soft robotic systems. But there's a problem: These actuators always deform in the same way upon…
