New Tools for Human-Machine Collaborative Design

Posted on by Haptic

Advanced materials are increasingly embodying counterintuitive properties, such as extreme strength and super lightness, while additive manufacturing and other new technologies are vastly improving the ability to fashion these novel materials into shapes that would previously have been extremely costly or even impossible to create. Generating new designs that fully exploit these properties, however, has Read more about New Tools for Human-Machine Collaborative Design[…]

Using nanotechnology to create parallel computers

Posted on by Haptic

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have utilised nanotechnology to create a biological computer that can solve certain mathematical problems far faster and more energy-efficiently than conventional electrical computers. The research results have now been published in the prestigious publication Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Conventional computers have contributed to major advances Read more about Using nanotechnology to create parallel computers[…]
