Keywords: Earthquake engineering, seismic isolation, deformable rolling bearings, low-cost isolation for lightweight structures, triaxial shake table testing, and isolator behavior modeling. Abstract: ...

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

Heavy machinery is entering a new phase where hydraulics, electronics and embedded software are engineered as one integrated system. Using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) as a framework to ...

Automation aims to standardize industrial operations and bring overall efficiency to today’s production lines. Such gains, however, may come with considerable effort, as engineering teams must ...

Led by Hannes Stärk, a PhD student at MIT and first author, the latest update to the Boltz series of models, BoltzGen, expands the druggable universe by advancing from structure prediction to ...

Advanced composites are gaining ground in many areas, especially aerospace, automotive and renewable energies, as they are lightweight and help to save energy. What is still missing are accurate and ...

Over the past decade or so, foundation models have emerged as the dominant paradigm for interacting with language, images, and code. Large Language Models (LLMs) can generate text. Vision models can ...

It’s no secret to anyone that chip design gets harder every year. There are two major trends driving these ever-increasing challenges. The first is the continual scaling down to smaller design nodes.
