Five ways Bioengineers want to use 3-D Printing
Now that 3D printing has made it easier to generate custom-made prosthetics, bioengineers are looking ahead at manufacturing actual cellular material. Such technology could be the basis for personalized biomedical devices; tissue-engineered…
Cornell Scientists propose novel carbon-capture electrochemical cell
While the human race will always leave its carbon footprint on the Earth, it must continue to find ways to lessen the impact of its fossil fuel consumption. “Carbon capture” technologies –…
MIT’s Interactive Dynamic Video will allow you to touch objects in videos
We learn a lot about objects by manipulating them: poking, pushing, prodding, and then seeing how they react. We obviously can’t do that with videos — just try touching that cat video…
Renegade is a 3D-Printing Pen that works by recyling Plastic Bottles, Files and Bags
Renegade is a kickstarter project for creating 3D-printing pen that works by recyling household plastic waste like plastic bottles, files and bags. The idea was born out of a concern for the…
