Platinum has long been used as a catalyst to enable the oxidation reduction reaction at the center of fuel cell technology. But the metal’s high cost…
<p>Engineers and scientists study nature to find new ideas for designs and processes. For example, how a ladybug folds its wings can inspire new designs for compact satellites. With a new grant, Georgia Tech researchers will help high school teachers bring those kinds of engineering concepts into their classrooms.</p>
The way a ladybug folds its wings can help aerospace engineers design more compact satellites. Studying how ants dig tunnels could help us create our…
