Cornell University researchers recently announced that they have created a new way to 3D print superconductors that deliver record-setting performance. Their method was recently published in the ‘Nature Communications’ journal, and specifically uses a one-step printing process that helps simplify…

In the United States, approximately 300,000 people are living with spinal cord injuries. These injuries can stem from trauma or previous medical conditions, and each year, there are about 18,000 new cases. Spinal cord injuries mostly affect men, and to…

In late August, NASA and SpaceX launched the 33rd commercial resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The mission, carried out with the reliable Dragon capsule, transported not only the usual supplies but also a wide range of innovative…

Don Bosco University in El Salvador has unveiled a project that puts 3D printing in the spotlight. Through the Micro Macro Observatory (OMM), the university presented the Zuyat mission, a project that successfully launched the country’s first stratospheric probe. The…

A team of researchers at the National University of Singapore has successfully 3D printed an elastic “photonic skin” capable of generating light without the need for batteries or cables. Thanks to an auxetic design, meaning it expands when stretched rather…

The global population is aging rapidly. In France, people over 65 already made up 20% of the population in 2020, and that number is expected to reach 30% by 2050, a trend also seen in Japan. As people age, even…

Researchers at the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) in Ireland have recently developed a new 3D printing method that could impact the future of wearable technology. Dr. Aswathy Babu, the head of the team, alongside Professor Suresh C. Pillai, has created…

Skin is the body’s first line of defense against the outside world, and when it suffers severe burns, repairing it can be a matter of life and death. Current treatments often involve transplanting a thin layer of the epidermis, the…

Researchers at Caltech have developed a novel approach to metallurgy that enables precise control over both the chemical composition and microstructure of metallic materials, significantly enhancing their mechanical resilience. Traditionally, however, metallurgy has followed a very different path. “If you…

OpenAI recently announced the launch of GPT-5, the newest version of its language model that CEO Sam Altman described as “having an expert with a doctorate in your pocket.” This new update brings significant improvements to the current models’ reasoning,…

As we know, some parts of the world lack access to clean drinking water. One approach to providing people with drinkable water is the treatment of seawater. Desalination plants are often used for this purpose. However, they consume a large…

Engineers at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, have recently developed a 3D printed titanium alloy that is not only stronger than the current industry standard but also significantly cheaper to produce. Titanium alloys are already heavily present within the aerospace…
