Engineering Fields
If “engineering” is defined as “the use of science and math to design and make everything that has ever been, or will ever be, made.” Then the number of different fields in engineering is limitless. Take anything for which one might be able to design and fabricate a better solution and stick the word “engineering” after it and you have coined a new field of engineering.
The Millau Viaduct, located in southern France, is a breathtaking feat of engineering that has captured the imagination of architects and travelers alike since its completion in 2004. Spanning the Tarn River Valley, it stands as the tallest bridge in the world, soaring to a height of 343 meters (1,125 feet) above the ground, which is even taller than the Eiffel Tower.
A team from the Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan has developed a sustainable alternative to Portland cement.
Graphene Batteries charge faster, last longer and are more efficient. The future of battery technology.
The Italian nuclear authorities have begun clearing out and remaking a radioactive waste storage facility. The new facility is hoped to be far safer than the original.
If you've heard about the Manhattan project, you've probably heard about the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But how do they really work? Read this article to find out.

Ever wanted to know how escalators work? In this article, you'll learn all about the parts and how escalators function.
Asteroid mining has long existed as a futuristic thing, something more like science fiction and a few bold TED talks than present day technology. But a small startup named AstroForge is trying to change that. While others have tried and failed, the company believes it’s not just chasing profit but taking a step toward humanity’s long term survival. Its goal is to extract rare metals from asteroids in space, reducing our dependence on Earth’s decreasing resources and the environmental damage caused by mining.
These new bats are taking the sport by storm. Find out how they work and some potential pitfalls.
NASA’s amazing space missions depend on a rare fuel that is running low. If they don’t find a way to make more plutonium-238 soon, future missions to faraway planets—or even back to the Moon—could be delayed or canceled.
Ballpoint pens are a reliable kind of pen that are very commonly used. It was a very important invention and had a lasting impact on art and writing.
The creation of monumental statues is not only an artistic endeavor but also a remarkable feat of engineering. These colossal structures require careful planning, sophisticated techniques, and the integration of various engineering disciplines to ensure their stability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal.
