How to make chips produced in the cutting process useful

Compared with other cutting methods, EV-chiseling could generate metallic microstructures with ultra-high aspect ratio, and the cutting chip could be directly transformed into unique microstructures.

Paving new paths for sustainable construction

The construction sector today faces several challenges. Natural sand is fast becoming a scarce resource—we might run out of it by 2050. Carbon dioxide emissions, especially from manufacturing cement or fired clay bricks, ...

New concrete possibilities from waste materials

The use of recycled concrete and glass aggregates in concrete production has emerged as a highly promising means of increasing the recycling rate of waste materials—but durability issues have plagued some combinations of ...

GNSS Gyroscopes: A new horizon in motion measurement

Attitude information, crucial in scientific and engineering fields, traditionally relies on instruments like gyroscopes for measurement, facing limitations in miniaturization and accuracy over time.
