Lab researchers achieve breakthrough in 3D printed marine grade stainless steel

“”Marine grade” stainless steel is valued for its performance under corrosive environments and for its high ductility — the ability to bend without breaking under stress — making it a preferred choice for oil pipelines, welding, kitchen utensils, chemical equipment, medical implants …

LED Controlled by 3D Gesture Sensor

“I tried controlling the display of flexible LED matrix with 3D gesture sensor.”

Next Mars Rover Will Have 23 ‘Eyes’

“When NASA’s Mars Pathfinder touched down in 1997, it had five cameras: two on a mast that popped up from the lander, and three on NASA’s first rover, Sojourner. Since then, camera technology has taken a quantum leap …

Separating Chemicals With Magnets

“Researchers File Patent for Novel, Energy-Efficient Technique that Leverages Membranes and Magnets to Purify Chemical Compounds from Mixtures in Oil and Gas Processing A team of researchers at the Gas Research Center (GRC) are working to reduce the high energy …

The hidden Nano Power Switch

“Kiel researchers discover switching function in molecular wire The increasing miniaturisation in electronics will result in components which consist of only a few molecules, or even just one molecule. Tiny wires are required to connect these to an electrical circuit …

Voltage-driven Liquid Metal Fractals

“Researchers from North Carolina State University have found that gallium indium (EGaIn), a liquid metal with one of the highest surface tensions, can be induced to spread and form patterns called fractals with the application of low voltage. The work …

Watering System

“In this instructables I will show you how to make fully automated watering system. It only takes a few hours to make. For mine i used a little more than 10 hours and it was completed and worked properly. Entire …

Faster big-data analysis

“We live in the age of big data, but most of that data is “sparse.” Imagine, for instance, a massive table that mapped all of Amazon’s customers against all of its products, with a “1” for each product a …

How a $10 Microchip Turns 2-D Ultrasound Machines to 3-D Imaging Devices

“Technology that keeps track of how your smartphone is oriented can now give $50,000 ultrasound machines many of the 3-D imaging abilities of their $250,000 counterparts—for the cost of a $10 microchip. In a presentation at the …

3-D-printed device builds better nanofibers

“Meshes made from fibers with nanometer-scale diameters have a wide range of potential applications, including tissue engineering, water filtration, solar cells, and even body armor. But their commercialization has been hampered by inefficient manufacturing techniques. In the latest issue of …
