Photo: CSIRO Researchers led by Australia’s national science agency had an efficiency breakthrough with roll-to-roll flexible printed perovskite solar cells. The international team, led by the Australian government’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), has developed a new method for producing roll-to-roll flexible printed solar cells that deliver unprecedented levels of efficiency. Printed solar cells are highly efficient, flexible, and decreasing in…

Revolutions, like bankruptcy, happen in two ways: gradually, then all at once. The French Revolution, according to Robert Darnton’s The Revolutionary Temper: Paris, 1748-1789, was no different. Histories of the period conventionally begin with the storming of the Bastille prison, hated symbol of royal tyranny, by Parisian commoners on 14 July 1789. Darnton, who built his reputation as an inventive, often iconoclastic historian in works such as The Great Cat Massacre, turns the conventional narrative upside down. Where…

Researchers at the Zurich-based ETH public university, along with a US-based startup called Inkbit, have done the impossible. They’ve printed a robot hand complete with bones, ligaments and tendons for the very first time, representing a major leap forward in 3D printing technology. It’s worth noting that the various parts of the hand were printed simultaneously, and not cobbled together after the fact, as indicated in a research journal published in Nature. Each of the robotic hand’s various parts were made from…

A new report from prolific purveyor of Apple-related rumors and inside information Ming-Chi Kuo is out today. This time around, the analyst confirms previous rumors stating that Apple will release a sequel to the original Apple Watch Ultra, and will do so later this year. Kuo only mentions that the new wearable is coming sometime in the second half of this year, but it stands to reason that its launch would either occur in September along with the new iPhones, or perhaps, less likely, in October at another event.…

A new report claims that the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is going to land in the second half of 2023, with 3D printed parts coming as part of its new manufacturing process. According to prolific insider Ming-Chi Kuo, "Apple is actively adopting 3D printing technology, and it’s expected that some of the titanium mechanical parts of the 2H23 new Apple Watch Ultra will be made by 3D printing."Kuo did not specify which parts will get the 3D printing treatment, but says the ones that are in line for the new process "still have to go…

Customize hydrogel masks. Credit: University of WaterlooScientists have developed a smart wound dressing that uses advanced polymers for personalized treatment of burn victims. The dressing, customizable via 3D printing, adheres well to skin and offers time-release medication for extended relief. Potential uses also include constant drug release in cancer treatment and customized cosmetic applications.One of the challenges in treating burn victims is the frequency of dressing changes, which can be extremely painful.To…
