How to use inks to 3D-print novel electronic devices

The University of Nottingham has cracked the conundrum of how to use inks to 3D-print novel electronic devices with useful properties, such as an ability to convert light into electricity. The study shows that it is possible to jet inks, containing tiny flakes of 2D materials such as graphene, to build up and mesh together Read more about How to use inks to 3D-print novel electronic devices[…]

Virtual Reality (VR) in Health and Safety training

A new study suggests employee safety could be improved through use of Virtual Reality (VR) in Health and Safety training, such as fire evacuation drills. The Human Factors Research Group at the University of Nottingham, developed an immersive VR system to stimulate participants’ perception of temperature, and senses of smell, sight and hearing to explore Read more about Virtual Reality (VR) in Health and Safety training[…]

A new advanced material for aerospace industry

A cutting-edge material, inspired by nature, that can regulate its own temperature and could equally be used to treat burns and help space capsules withstand atmospheric forces is under development at the University of Nottingham. The research used a network of multiple microchannels with active flowing fluids (fluidics) as a method and proof of concept Read more about A new advanced material for aerospace industry[…]
