Cornell and Max Planck Create Swarming Microrobots That Manipulate Their Surroundings

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk March 1, 2026 5:41 pm

Cornell University and Max Planck Institute researchers have developed swarming microrobots that manipulate objects using only fluid forces. The tiny spinning discs, controlled by magnetic fields, work together to turn gears and move items without touching them. The collective behavior opens possibilities for gentle microscale tasks and future biomedical procedures requiring contactless handling.

Geely-backed Horse Powertrain unveils hybrid engine with 40% fuel cut

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk February 24, 2026 5:31 pm

Geely-backed Horse Powertrain, owned jointly with Renault Group and Aramco, has unveiled a new hybrid engine concept developed with Repsol that runs on 100% renewable gasoline. The H12 system achieves 44.2% thermal efficiency and cuts fuel consumption by 40% to below 3.3 L/100km. Two prototypes are已完成, with a demonstrator vehicle due in early 2026, offering a near-term solution for reducing transport emissions alongside electrification.

MIT Engineers Create Stretchable Polymer That Switches Heat Flow in 0.22 Seconds

Modern Mechanics 24 News Desk February 18, 2026 5:33 pm

MIT engineers have created a stretchable polymer that switches heat flow in 0.22 seconds—the fastest thermal switching ever observed. The material more than doubles its heat conduction when stretched, then returns to insulating when relaxed. Smart fabrics, self-cooling electronics, and adaptive building materials could soon follow.
