Sophisticated 3D measurement technology permits gesture-based human-machine interaction in real time

“Humans and machines will increasingly support each other in the workplace. For processes to be efficient, the machine must respond to the human worker without any time delay. Thanks to sophisticated high-speed 3D measurement and sensor technology, researchers at the …

Strength in numbers for 3D printing

“Hierarchical microstructure improves the performance of metallic material Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is commonly used to build complex three-dimensional objects, layer by layer. A*STAR researchers have shown that the process can also help to make a high-performance …

Supercomputers to help supercharge ceramic matrix composite manufacturing

“ORNL-, Rolls Royce-developed software creates virtual sandbox for gas turbine engine producers New software capabilities developed by computational scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the Rolls Royce Corporation could soon …

True-meaning Wearable Displays: Self-powered, Washable and Wearable

“When we think about clothes, they are usually formed with textiles and have to be both wearable and washable for daily use; however, smart clothing has had a problem with its power sources and moisture permeability, which causes the devices …

Turning a molecule into a coherent two-level quantum system

“Organic dye molecules are commonly known from color pigments or from fluorescence microscopy in biology. Although as any other molecule, they are fundamentally quantum mechanical objects made of a small number of atoms, they are usually not associated with quantum …

Unlocking the untapped potential of light in optical communications

“Scientists at Tokyo Tech have fabricated a multiplexer/demultiplexer module based on a property of light that was not being exploited in communications systems: the optical vortex. Such devices will be crucial for improving optical networks, which are the backbone …
