Carnegie Mellon’s AI Drones Can Build Mid-Air Structures With 90 Percent Success Rate
Carnegie Mellon engineers have unveiled AI-controlled drones that 3D print by snapping magnetic blocks together mid-air. Powered by a large language model, the drones translate simple commands into precise construction plans, achieving 90% accuracy. The technology could enable aerial infrastructure repair and emergency shelter construction in hard-...

Researchers Create Metal That Resists Cracking in Deep Space Cold
Researchers have engineered a cobalt-nickel-vanadium alloy that stays tough even at –186°C, resisting the brittleness that plagues most metals in extreme cold. Using atomic-scale design, the team created dual structural patterns inside the alloy that block cracks and preserve ductility. In lab tests, the metal absorbed far more strain than conve...

TBM ‘Shakti’: The Tech Behind India’s Longest Railway Tunnel Between Rishikesh and Karnaprayag
India’s longest railway tunnel is currently being constructed deep in the Himalayan mountains. Dubbed Tunnel No. 8 or T-8, it will be a 14.57km tunnel between Rishikesh and Karnaprayag, and connect Devprayag and Janasu in Uttarakhand. While the length of the tunnel in itself is a major engineering achievement, the technology that went into the ex...

Archaeologists May Have Found 2,100-Year-Old Roman Canal Built by Gaius Marius in Southern France
Archaeologists in France may have located a lost Roman canal built during the Cimbrian Wars. The Marius Canal, ordered by Gaius Marius, was a crucial supply route for Roman troops fighting the Cimbri and Teutones between 104 and 102 B.C. Researchers have identified structures in the Rhône River delta matching Roman engineering standards, including...

Indian Researchers Develop Energy-Efficient Method to Create Glass, Could Improve Efficiency of Data Centres
Scientists from IISc, University of Pennsylvania, and MIT reveal a breakthrough with indium selenide that transforms crystalline structures to glass using significantly less energy. By passing a continuous electric current, the crystalline material experiences a “shock” that converts it to glass. The low energy requirement could help lower powe...
