When it comes to shock-mitigation, bigger is truly better. Let’s consider a thought experiment: You must take the wheel of one of two cars speeding along straight tracks with no exits. Both cars are ...

A team of undergraduate engineers at UC San Diego has discovered a method that could make materials more resilient against massive shocks such as earthquakes or explosions. The students, conducting ...

Understanding of the electrical arc flash and electrical shock hazards has vastly improved over the past few years. Employers undertook a concerted effort to issue personal protective equipment (PPE).
