Controlling a tiny robot is maybe as close as you can come to shrinking yourself down

A Cornell University-led collaboration has created the first microscopic robots that incorporate semiconductor components, allowing them to be controlled – and made to walk – with standard electronic signals. These robots, roughly the size of paramecium, provide a template for building even more complex versions that utilize silicon-based intelligence, can be mass produced, and may Read more about Controlling a tiny robot is maybe as close as you can come to shrinking yourself down[…]

By using a novel nanochip technology, injured or compromised organs can be replaced

Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Ohio State’s College of Engineering have developed a new technology, Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), that can generate any cell type of interest for treatment within the patient’s own body. This technology may be used to repair injured tissue or restore function of aging tissue, including organs, blood vessels and nerve Read more about By using a novel nanochip technology, injured or compromised organs can be replaced[…]

First Rapid Plasma Deposition Machine

SUNY Polytechnic Institute and Norsk Titanium AS today announced the first MERKE IV™ Rapid Plasma Deposition™ (RPD™) machine has been shipped from Norway to the company’s new U.S. headquarters and manufacturing plant currently under construction in Plattsburgh, New York. The MERKE IV™ enables production of titanium components that have equivalent strength to forged parts but Read more about First Rapid Plasma Deposition Machine[…]
