Newly developed “cinematic rendering” technology can produce photorealistic 3D images from traditional CT and MRI data, with potential applications in medical education, communication with patients and physicians, and early disease detection, according to an article published in the August 2017 issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR). Recently introduced and not currently approved for clinical

The Minibuilders could take on tall tasks, including automating another frontier of human labor: the construction industry. Even though most buildings are designed using the latest digital tools, actual construction is stuck in the past; building is messy, slow, and inefficient. 3-D printing might change that, but recent projects like these printed houses in China demonstrate one

Sulfur in Every Pore Lithium-sulfur batteries may be the power storage devices of the future. Newly developed porous nanoparticles containing sulfur deliver optimized battery performance. From smartphones to e-bikes, the number of mobile electronic devices is steadily growing around the world. As a result, there is an increased need for batteries that are small and

Per­haps no startup was launched for a more intriguing reason than that of Northeastern’s Hanchen Huang. From the com­pany website: “MesoGlue was founded by Huang and two of his PhD stu­dents: They had a dream of a better way of sticking things together.” Those “things” are every­thing from a computer’s cen­tral pro­cessing unit and a printed cir­cuit

MIT-led team designs airplanes that would use 70 percent less fuel than current models. In what could set the stage for a fundamental shift in commercial aviation, an MIT-led team has designed a green airplane that is estimated to use 70 percent less fuel than current planes while also reducing noise and emission of nitrogen

Low-cost coating would disrupt the building retrofit market and potentially save billions in electricity It’s estimated that 10 percent of all the energy used in buildings in the U.S. can be attributed to window performance, costing building owners about $50 billion annually, yet the high cost of replacing windows or retrofitting them with an energy

For some reason, Brown keeps appearing in the press over this issue, which is a bit unfortunate, as there are

The use of 3D printers has the potential to revolutionize the way food is manufactured within the next 10 to 20 years, impacting everything from how military personnel get food on the battlefield to how long it takes to get a meal from the computer to your table, according to a July 12th symposium at

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago and at Argonne National Laboratory have designed a new lithium-air battery that works in a natural air environment and still functioned after a record-breaking 750 charge/discharge cycles. Their findings are reported in the journal Nature. Robert Klie, Mohammad Asadi, Amin Salehi-Khojin and Fatemeh Khalili. (Photo: Jenny Fontaine) “Our lithium-air
