The document contains summaries of four different articles on topics in mechanical engineering: 1) McGill researchers developed instrumentation using electron diffraction experiments to examine chemical reactions and protein function at the atomic level. 2) Researchers developed an anti-turbulence system inspired by feathers that could reduce turbulence on flights. 3) NASA aims to align two spacecraft to act as a single "virtual" telescope and make scientific observations. 4) NYU researchers created the first protein microfibers through self-assembly, bringing protein fiber development to a larger scale.
