Shaping the Future of Protein Engineering

Nanomedical engineering: shaping future nanomedicines.

Preclinical research in the field of nanomedicine continues to produce a steady stream of new nanoparticles with unique capabilities and complex properties. With improvements come promising treatments for diseases, with the ultimate goal of clinical translation and better patient outcomes compared with current standards of care. Here, we outline engineering considerations for nanomedicines, wit...

Probabilistic design: The future of rock engineering

A brief background to the development of the rock engineering design process is given, showing that since the development of the science of mathematics, deterministic methods have been used to perform various calculations. The variability of rock properties and support characteristics have always been known. However, they were not explicitly used in design but compensated for by the use of a sa...

Shaping the Future Internet

The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Internet of Services (IoS) are two well-known exemplars of the emerging ‘Internet variants’. These variants will be tightly interwoven yet specific with respect to the supporting technologies needed. The present paper discusses the five variants identified as essential by the authors: IoT, IoS, Internet-ofHumans, Internet-of-Crowds, and Internet-of-Clouds. F...
