Scientists have developed the world’s fastest 3D printer of micro- and nanostructures. With this printer, smallest three-dimensional objects, often smaller than the diameter of a human hair, can be ...

Researchers have demonstrated a way to manufacture minuscule closed containers that might be used to deliver precise micro- or even nano-quantities of drugs. First the scientists create flat patterns, ...

Engineers have turned one of nature’s most reviled body parts into a precision tool, using the hollow feeding tubes of dead ...

This press release is available in German. At the Photonics West, the leading international fair for photonics taking place in San Francisco (USA) this week, Nanoscribe GmbH, a spin-off of Karlsruhe ...

Electrical engineers at Duke University in the US have developed a new printing technique to create fully functional, recyclable electronics. Interestingly, the technique could enable printing of ...

Powered by light, the robots carry computers and can move in complex patterns, say Penn Engineering and University of ...

This is a robust one pan balance with an iron and marble base, and a tag on front that reads “The / Micrometer / Balance / Scale Co. / Troy, N.Y. / Patented Nov. 22 – 1892 / Mar. 22 – 1898 / Jul. 21 – ...

IN the May issue of Watson's Microscope Record, J. A. Lord pleads for the inclusion of a scale of measurement on each published photomicrograph, so that a visual estimate of the size of the objects ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) materials are composed of strongly bonded layers of molecules with weak bonding between the layers. Layered van der Waals heterostructures are ...

Three-dimensional printers are popping up everywhere these days. Some are small enough to fit in a briefcase and others are large enough to build print houses, but scientists at the Vienna University ...
