Cleaning up groundwater is no small job, but a team of Princeton researchers is on a mission to make it simpler — using microscopic springs. A study from Sujit Datta's lab, led by graduate student ...

Researchers at WMG at the University of Warwick have won research funding worth £250,000 from Innovate UK for a project that will put a (polymer) spring into vehicle fuel efficiency. The project is ...

A new line of non-metallic PEEK polymer energy absorbing springs from Clifford Spring Co. in England overcomes these problems. Victrex PEEK polymer from Victrex USA Inc. is strong and stands up to ...

One of the most important components of any car is its suspension. It’s what helps to absorb imperfections in the road—both big and small—and provides a comfortable ride. Today, nearly every vehicle ...

Researchers have developed a new technique for rapidly prototyping nanoscale devices and structures that is so inexpensive the "print head" can be thrown away when done. Hard-tip, soft-spring ...

Remember the days when automobiles were made almost exclusively from steel. If the Germans get their way, they could be gone forever. While BMW is working with carbon fiber reinforced plastic on the i ...

Scientists are making models for polymer macromolecules using magnets and DNA 'springs' that can be tuned for flexibility. Rice University researchers are using magnetic beads and DNA "springs" to ...
