In a 3D world, more transistors in an enclosure, so more memory and faster processors Antoine Legrain, doctoral degree candidate at the University of Twente, has developed a method to design... Read more
Graphene is gaining heated attention, dubbed a “wonder material” with great conductivity, flexibility and durability. However, graphene is hard to come by due to the fact that its manufactur... Read more
Development of the try-out fixture is complete New models of automobiles are initially manufactured in a pilot production run. A new procedure now makes it possible to transfer the parameter... Read more
Converting sunshine into electricity is not difficult, but doing so efficiently and on a large scale is one of the reasons why people still rely on the electric grid and not a national solar... Read more
“Open-innovation is key to move from early-stage precompetitive technology to the development of robust products such as these next-generation medical devices.” Imec, a world-leading n... Read more

SOMETHING big is happening to the business of making things. Those who want to understand it are unlikely to find a better guide than Peter Marsh. A writer for the Financial Times (owned by... Read more
The digitisation of manufacturing will transform the way goods are made—and change the politics of jobs too THE first industrial revolution began in Britain in the late 18th century, with th... Read more
Clones of robotic insects to be mass-produced by the sheet A new technique inspired by elegant pop-up books and origami will soon allow clones of robotic insects to be mass-produced by the s... Read more
It may have made another sort of mistake in solar energy The company had a head start on technology that allows solar cells to be manufactured more cheaply, but lost out to Chinese co... Read more
A leading nanotechnology scientist has raised questions over a billion dollar industry by boldly claiming that there is a limit to how small nanotechnology materials can be mass produced. In... Read more
When it comes to solar cells, everyone is chasing the highest conversion efficiency. Although we’ve seen conversion efficiencies of over 40 percentachieved with multi-junction solar cells in... Read more
