Easy to use 3D bioprinting technique creates lifelike tissues from natural materials

“Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a 3D bioprinting technique that works with natural materials and is easy to use, allowing researchers of varying levels of technical expertise to produce lifelike organ tissue models. As a …

Engineers produce smallest 3-D transistor yet

“Process that modifies semiconductor material atom by atom could enable higher-performance electronics. Researchers from MIT and the University of Colorado have fabricated a 3-D transistor that’s less than half the size of today’s smallest commercial models. To do …

ETRI exchanged quantum information on daylight in a free-space quantum key distribution

“ETRI successfully exchanged quantum information on daylight in a free-space quantum key distribution. The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has reported a successful free-space quantum key distribution (QKD) in daylight with the self-developed polarization encoding chip for the first …

For a longer battery life: Pushing lithium ion batteries to the next performance level

“Chemists develop new anode material Conventional lithium ion batteries, such as those widely used in smartphones and notebooks, have reached performance limits. Materials chemist Freddy Kleitz from the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Vienna and international scientists have …

Four new sources of gravitational waves

“LIGO and Virgo Observatories also present their first catalogue Scientists have carried out a closer analysis of previously recorded data from the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, tracking down four new signals. They all originate from the collison of …

Friendly electromagnetic pulse improves survival for electronics

“An electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, emitted by a nuclear weapon exploded high above the United States could disable the electronic circuits of many devices vital to military defense and modern living. These could include complicated weapon systems as well as …

From Fantasy To Reality: Ford’s New $45 Million Advanced Manufacturing Center Bringing The Future To Life - Today

“Inside Ford’s new Advanced Manufacturing Center, an engineer stands in front of a 3D printing machine churning out brake parts for Ford’s soon-to-be-introduced Shelby Mustang GT500. Across the room, two team members strap on virtual reality headsets to …

High-temperature electronics? That’s hot

“From iPhones on Earth to rovers on Mars, most electronics only function within a certain temperature range. By blending two organic materials together, researchers at Purdue University could create electronics that withstand extreme heat. This new plastic material could reliably …

Iron-Rich Lamellae in the Semiconductor

“HZDR researchers produce unusual crystal structure There is often a pronounced symmetry when you look at the lattice of crystals: it doesn’t matter where you look – the atoms are uniformly arranged in every direction. This behavior was also to …

Lab develops metamaterials that change mechanical properties under magnetic fields

“Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have introduced a new class of metamaterials that can nearly instantly respond and stiffen 3D-printed structures when exposed to a magnetic field, a development that could be applied to next-generation helmets, wearable armor and …
