Video: 3D Printed Cement‐Based Materials with Bioinspired Design
Purdue University researchers have 3D-printed cement paste, a key ingredient of the concrete and mortar used to build various elements of infrastructure, that gets tougher under pressure like the shells of arthropods such as lobsters and beetles. The technique could eventually contribute to more resilient structures during natural disasters.

Video: Large-Scale 3D Printing by a Team of Mobile Robots
Roboticists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have, for the first time (as far as they know), performed “the actual printing of a single-piece concrete structure by two mobile robots operating concurrently.” Using a fleet of mobile robots for construction could have an extreme potential in other non-conventional aspects. One such application is to allow automated construction in hard-to-reach, remote areas, such as underground caves, the Moon or Mars, to which it is inconvenien...
Video: Michigan DOT Oversees Railroad Crossing Replacement Project
Starting the night of August 14 through August 15, crews from Amtrak and CSX Transportation rebuilt four railroad diamond crossings at Wayne Junction near Wayne, Michigan. Jointly owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation and CSX, this important crossing is utilized by Amtrak trains travelling between Chicago, Detroit, and Pontiac, as well as by CSX and Norfolk Southern freight trains. Project costs were covered 75 percent by CSX and 25 percent by MDOT.
Video: Is America Ready for Driverless Cars?
For the second year in a row, AAA has conducted a national survey to determine if Americans are ready to ride in self-driving vehicles. In this video, we take a look at Autonomous Vehicle Acceptance—by the numbers---sharing with you AAA’s 2018 findings. AAA breaks down its survey results into various groups of drivers including males and females, millennials and baby-boomers. Each group is asked if they are afraid to ride in a fully self-driving car. AAA says this year’s findings show driv...
