There’s a lot to think about when it comes to plastics for medical parts. At the top of the list are safety and, for parts going inside the body, longevity. So, which is the best to choose for your application?
The popularity of wearable electronics has induced demand for their parts, including power sources such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Such power sources must be both stretchy and high-performance, holding up under various deformation conditions over hours of use.
You've probably heard about the amazing capabilities of some recent AI models, such as GPT, AI21, or BLOOM. Perhaps you use one of these models yourself. Either directly, or through another product like Wordtune, YouWrite, Jasper – or ChatGPT.
It turns out that while these models are trained on language data, they can be used for other applications as well.
In my latest article, you can read more about applications in materials discovery, cybersecurity, and even building management.
Engineers at Caltech have developed a method for 3-D printing pure and multicomponent metals, at a resolution that is, in some cases, an order of magnitude smaller than previously possible. The process, which uses water-based chemistry and 3-D printing, was described in a paper published in Nature on October 20.
Producing chirality, a property found throughout nature, through large-scale self-assembly could lead to applications in sensing, machine perception and more.
For the first time, ETH Zurich researchers have been able to make a superconducting component from graphene that is quantum coherent and sensitive to magnetic fields. This step opens up interesting prospects for fundamental research.
Where one engineer may require a surface that is as reflective as a mirror, another may want a product that absorbs as much light as possible. How do you achieve both material properties?
