ETH researchers have developed a biocompatible ink for 3D printing using living bacteria. This makes it possible to produce biological materials capable of breaking down toxic substances or producing high-purity cellulose for biomedical applications. There will soon be nothing that cannot be produced with 3D printing. However, the materials used for this process are still

Forget draft tables and complicated computer-aided design programs: You dream it. Endless Forms helps you design it. Cornell University engineers are allowing anyone to point, click, collaborate and create online in the evolution of printable, three-dimensional objects. They aim to transform the design of art, architecture and artificial intelligence. Their new, interactive website EndlessForms.com, allows

Breathing sensors built into romper suits could help prevent sudden cot deaths in the future. The basis for this is a stretchable printed circuit board that fits to the contours of the body and can be manufactured using routine industrial processes. Parents of newborn babies are always creeping into the nursery at night to check

A new experiment, launching today online, aims to help ‘inoculate’ against disinformation by providing a small dose of perspective from a “fake news tycoon”. A pilot study has shown some early success in building resistance to fake news among teenagers. We try to let players experience what it is like to create a filter bubble

How can quantum information be transferred from one atom to another? A team of researchers from TU Wien and Harvard University has proposed using phonons – the quanta of sound. Quantum physics is on the brink of a technological breakthrough: new types of sensors, secure data transmission methods and maybe even computers could be made

Tiny “microbeads” in beauty products seemed great, until someone tried to clean them up. Sometimes product innovation turns out beautifully. Other times, it gets messy and requires a clean up. The story of plastic microbeads in personal care products–the tiny spheres in many body washes and toothpastes that Illinois became the first state to ban

Medicine focuses almost entirely on fighting chronic diseases in a piecemeal fashion as symptoms develop. Instead, more efforts should be directed to promoting interventions that have the potential to prevent multiple chronic diseases and extend healthy lifespans. Researchers writing in the journal Nature say that by treating the metabolic and molecular causes of human aging,

Tianhe-2, or Milky Way-2, a supercomputer developed by China’s National University of Defense Technology, is the new No. 1 ranked machine on the industry-standard Top500 list of the world’s most powerful high performance computing (HPC) systems. Clocked at 33.33 petaflops (quadrillion floating operations per second) on the Linpack benchmark, the Tianhe-2 dropped Oak Ridge National

Human clinical trials scheduled Scientists may have overcome a major roadblock in the development of Alzheimer’s therapies by creating a new technology to observe ? in the back of the eye ? progression of the disease before the onset of symptoms. Clinical trials are to start in July to test the technology in humans according

A mystery that has stumped scientists for decades might be one step closer to solution after ESA tracking stations carefully record signals from NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it swings by Earth today. NASA’s deep-space probe will zip past to within 561 km at 19:21 GMT as it picks up a gravitational speed boost to help
