A new technique that accurately measures how atom-thin materials expand when heated could help engineers develop faster, more powerful electronic devices. Two-dimensional materials, which consist of just a single layer of atoms, can be packed together more densely than conventional materials, so they could be used to make transistors, solar cells,

This little robot can go almost anywhere. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science and the University of California, Berkeley, have designed a robotic system that enables a low-cost and relatively small legged robot to climb and descend stairs nearly its height; traverse rocky, slippery, uneven, steep and varied

A robot that can find its way through narrow pipe networks, relaying images of damage or obstructions to human operators, has been developed by University of Leeds researchers. Much of the infrastructure for water, sewage and gas runs in pipes under the ground that require regular inspection to find the source
