ScienceResearchers have developed a lightweight, high-strength material inspired by the framework structure of bones and wood and the shell structure of bees' honeycombs. The material is less dense than water but, relative to its size, boasts strength comparable to high-performance steel or aluminum.
-
ScienceResearchers at Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have developed a self-healing polymer that can mend itself and fully restore its mechanical properties in just a few minutes when heated at low temperatures.

ScienceUnlike adhesive tape, gecko's feet retain their sticky qualities even after many, many uses. Now, thanks to research being conducted at Carnegie Mellon University and Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, we may one day be using self-cleaning reusable gecko-inspired tape.
-
ScienceEuropean researchers have announced a breakthrough in the development of artificial bone marrow which expands the ability of scientists to reproduce stem cells in the lab and could lead to increased availability of treatment for leukemia sufferers.
-
A new sensor belt prototype developed at KIT allows an ECG to be recorded around the clock for up to six months, increasing the chances a problem will be discovered and treated before an emergency strikes.
-
ScienceIt may consist of only three pieces, but at under a millimeter in size each, we imagine this jigsaw puzzle made at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is a little on the fiddly side.
-
By building a database of captured human motion, Disney Research and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology are making strides towards building a robot that can take an object handed to it by a human.
-
A group of engineers in Germany has succeeded in demonstrating 40 Gbit/s wireless data transmission.
-
Nanoscribe GmbH, a spin-off of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), has built the world’s fastest 3D printer of micro- and nanostructures.
