Tiny vesicles exchange genetic information between cells in the sea. Researchers around Susanne Erdmann from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology in Bremen take a look at data that…
Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) was developed by AMD with the primary goal of making its cloud services more secure. But even the latest versions of the security feature, SEV-ES and…
New research uncovers surprises for soft robotic actuators. Cambridge engineers investigating the load-bearing capacity of conical shells, made from soft materials, have discovered performance-limiting weaknesses that could have implications for…
For the first time, researchers have succeeded in printing a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different polymers using a new laser scanning technique. In brief: By…
The technique could speed up the development of acoustic lenses, impact-resistant films, and other futuristic materials. Metamaterials are products of engineering wizardry. They are made from everyday polymers, ceramics, and…
Computer vision enables contact-free 3D printing, letting engineers print with high-performance materials they couldn’t use before. With 3D inkjet printing systems, engineers can fabricate hybrid structures that have soft and…
