Scientists have developed water-repelling metal structures that will prevent ships from sinking even after damage.

Researchers have found a way to make ordinary aluminum tubes float indefinitely, even when submerged for long periods or ...

Once modified, the aluminum should theoretically stay afloat no matter how long they are forced into water or how heavily they are damaged ...

Metal tubes said to be " unsinkable " have been engineered by scientists. They say the "superhydrophobic" design could lead ...

Abstract: Concentric tube robots (CTRs) have drawn significant research attention over the years, particularly due to their applications in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Indeed, their small size, ...

Mechanical ventilation saves lives, but the airflow it produces inside an intubated airway can also shape conditions linked to complications during long-term support. In a recent study, SUNY ...
