How important is feedback for experts

Financial strategists, medical advisers and venture capitalists that are considered experts in their fields play a crucial role in major organizations, but are more likely than novices to make overconfident predictions after being told they are wrong, according to a Rutgers study. Published in the Academy of Management Journal, the study examined whether expertise could become a Read more about How important is feedback for experts[…]

New opportunities to create “smart skins” for printed parts

Rutgers engineers have created a highly effective way to paint complex 3D-printed objects, such as lightweight frames for aircraft and biomedical stents, that could save manufacturers time and money and provide new opportunities to create “smart skins” for printed parts. The findings are published in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. Conventional sprays and brushes Read more about New opportunities to create “smart skins” for printed parts[…]

4D printing will allow minimally invasive, pain-free and easy-to-use microneedles for delivering drugs

Painful hypodermic needles may not be needed in the future to give shots, inject drugs and get blood samples. With 4D printing, Rutgers engineers have created tiny needles that mimic parasites that attach to tissues and could replace hypodermic needles, according to a study in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. While 3D printing builds objects layer by Read more about 4D printing will allow minimally invasive, pain-free and easy-to-use microneedles for delivering drugs[…]
