Researchers have figured out how to produce a low cost shape-shifting "memory" foam, which could lead to more widespread applications in surgical positioning tools and valve mechanisms.
David Dunand, materials science professor at Northwestern University, has been collaborating with Peter Müllner, his counterpart at Boise State University, on a project focused on a nickel-manganese-gallium alloy that changes shape when exposed to a magnetic field.

As any home-brewer knows, making biodiesel isn’t rocket science. But when rocket science and biodiesel production commingle, new heights in automation and control are achieved. A collaborative effort between U.S. Navy environmental engineers and Biodiesel Industries Inc. was expanded a year ago to include aerospace and defense contractor Aerojet Inc. The same space-age sensing and automation technology that sent men to the moon decades ago is helping propel modular, remote biodiesel production to new heights.

Scientists have created a new type of blast-resistant glass that is thinner, lighter and less vulnerable to small-scale explosions than existing glass.
In tests, the improved glass design has been shown to withstand a hand grenade-strength bomb explosion originating close to the window panel. The blast caused the glass panel to crack, but didn’t puncture the composite layer.

Packed into a hall in Montreal’s Palais des congrès, home to the 8th World Congress of Chemical Engineering, ten university teams from across the globe put the final touches to a whole host of weird and wonderfully shaped cars. The object of the competition, a long running event organised by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, is to design and build a shoebox-sized car powered by a controlled chemical reaction. With a varying load of between 0 to 500ml of water and no more than two minutes on the clock, the car must run and come to a stop at a distance of between 50 to 100 feet without using mechanical breaks.
