Reading Time: 2 minutesLunar landing conspiracy put to rest(?) with LIDAR Arduino Team — February 20th, 2018 On July 20th, 1969 man first set foot on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission, or so they say. If it was faked, or so the theory goes, one would think that there were a few details that don’t quite […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesCornell and MIT are working on a joint project called the Robotic Modeling Assistant (RoMA) which will bring together multiple technologies to create an ultimate prototyping machine. Although 3D printing is certainly improving and streamlining prototyping, researchers from MIT and Cornell want to bring more emerging technologies together to improve such machines. The joint project […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesFrench firm Stelia Aerospace has lifted the lid on its newest innovation. Using WAAM (wire arc additive manufacturing), the company has demonstrated metallic self-reinforced aircraft fuselage panels that cut costs and save time from the assembly process. Aircraft structures and seating are the bread and butter of Stelia Aerospace’s business, with its designs and processes in place […]
Reading Time: 3 minutesA sheet of bioprinted hydrogels — inspired by the electric eel — is capable of delivering 110 volts of electricity. It has potential to become a soft power source which draws on a biological system’s chemical energy. Researchers used a 3D bioprinter to create a device which reached 110 volts from hydrogels. Essentially, they were […]
