Snapmaker combines a 3D printer, laser engraver and CNC carver with the promise of “transforming your desktop into a workshop”. A highly successful Kickstarter campaign raised $ 2.2 million, and now the…
Venus flytraps found to produce magnetic fields
The Venus flightrap (Dynaea meshipula) is a carnivorous plant that encircles its prey in the form of a modified trap. During this process, electrical signals are known as action potentials that close…
Researchers develop novel nanoparticle that efficiently
Many chemotherapeutic agents used to treat cancer are associated with side effects of varying severity, as they are toxic to normal cells as well as malignant tumors. This has led to the…
Researchers develop wireless, ultra-thin and battery-free strain sensors that
A research team at the National University of Singapore (NUS) led by Assistant Professor Chen Po-yen has taken the first step towards improving the safety and precision of industrial robotic weapons by…
Weak force has strong impact on nanosheets
You have to look closely, but the mountains are alive with the force of van van Waals. Scientists at Rice University found that nature’s ubiquitous “weak” force is sufficient for rigid nanosets,…
