A new study led by 91̽»¨researchers borrowed image-analysis methods from engineering to spot the minute movements of a stony coral.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from multiple institutions — including the 91̽»¨ — has received a two-year $1.7 million National Science Foundation grant to study coral growth.

91̽»¨ researchers have developed a novel solution to change the feeling of impact when one thing hits another. It has potential for use in spacecraft, cars and beyond — inspired by origami.

91̽»¨ researchers used the paper folding art of origami to develop a novel solution to help reduce the forces associated with impact — like in car crashes, football helmets, landing spacecraft and more.

91̽»¨ engineers have turned tissue paper – similar to toilet tissue – into a new kind of wearable sensor that can detect a pulse, a blink of an eye and other human movement.
