Swiss scientists have made significant progress in improving the lifespan of aging concrete bridges ...

Advanced monitoring methods were used throughout testing to track structural behavior. Digital imaging systems observed crack development, while embedded fiber-optic sensors measured strain ...

In a recent review published in Micromachines, researchers from Spain and Portugal highlighted the synergistic combination of shape-memory polymers (SMP) with carbon nanotubes (CNT) to enhance ...

Researchers have created a low-cost fiber that contracts in response to heat, resuming its shape when the heat is removed. Compatible with existing textile-producing machinery and not reliant on ...
