One of the great plus points of 3D printing is that you can design pretty much any shape or geometry that you want, and Nylon is a great general-purpose material to use. But there are some key considerations to keep in mind when designing nylon parts to make sure you get the parts you want.

When we choose what to buy, we usually look at the expiration date, brand, quality seals, ingredients, and price. But how do you know if the manufacturer is fully honest – or that the product was properly stored during shipping or while on the shelf?

Electrochromic technology enables layers that can change color or become transparent using an electrical current. Compared to other color-changing technologies such as photochromism and thermochromism, electrochromic devices can be perfectly controlled to achieve the desired transparency at any time. While the technology has been discovered almost 50 years ago, only recently have commercial applications emerged, mainly in electrochromic glass for automotive rearview mirrors and airplane windows.

Canadian researchers have discovered that they can stick hydrogel plasters to the skin very effectively using ultrasound. Outi Supponen has now explained the underlying mechanism: imploding bubbles that form within the adhesive located between the plaster and the skin anchor the one on the other.
