A newly-developed 3D printing method could be utilized to cost-effectively create customized electronic 'machines' the size of insects which allow advanced applications in robotics, medical tools, and others. Robotics is one area where small volumes of advanced sensors, MEMS, can now be produced with 3D printing. Credit; David Callahan. The impact of the discovery of the...
Macro Woman Eye. Credit: Dantesattic/iStock University of Pennsylvania researchers' ground-breaking form to develop night vision in grown-ups with congenital blindness will bring one spurt to ophthalmology: a gene therapy. As UPenn stated, adults with a genetic way of childhood-onset blindness experienced striking recoveries of night vision within days of receiving experimental gene treatment, according to scientists...
South Korea And US Hold Joint Live-fire Exercise The South Korea military mistakenly hit its own Air Force base during one joint exercise it was conducting with the United States (US). The occurrence did not result in any casualties, although it left a lot of civilians in the worried. Tensions between North and also South Korea...
The scheme for a mechanism of bubble-detachment. a) Normal flat electrode, b) the problems of adhered bubbles, and c) various approaches for the removal of gas bubbles. In (a), R, ρ, g, and λ indicate the dimension of bubbles, the density of a solution, gravitational acceleration constant, and surface tension of a solution, respectively....
Texas A&M University researchers are using 3D printing and salt to create environmentally friendly polymers that will degrade over time. Credit: Texas A&M Engineering A crew of scientists, one from the University of Cambridge and the other three from the College of Oxford, has used whole-body 3D imaging innovation for more information about the evolutionary...

Regarding to a cover story in Chemical & Engineering Information, more commercial entities are broadening offerings in low-Earth orbit, which could eventually permit more characteristic...
Credit: The Quantum Inside With dozens of start-ups in the emerging field of quantum computing, alongside giants like IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, the possibility of producing revenue from what is essentially a research and development venture is daunting. Publicly-traded quantum start-ups such as IonQ and D-Wave Systems, which do not have a non-quantum line...
Nanoparticles accumulate in tumor. Credit: Olena Taratula, Oleh Taratula, OSU College of Pharmacy Oregon State College researchers have invented a way to make magnetic nanoparticles that obtain hotter than any previous nanoparticle, improving their cancer-combating ability. Faculty from the OSU University of Drugstore led a partnership that created an advanced thermal decomposition technique for creating nanoparticles...
