Battery-free biosensor is the smallest one yet
We've recently seen a number of battery-free implantable biosensors, that are activated by the handheld device that reads them. Scientists have now created another such sensor, that's smaller than any that have come before.
3D-printed David stands just a millimeter tall
If you wanted to have a replica of Michelangelo's David in your home, you'd need plenty of space to show it off. But the replica 3D-printed by Exaddon and ETH Zurich would fit in any home, though you may need a microscope to see it.

Ancient Maya Farms Revealed by Laser Scanning
That all changed when scientists began using lidar, a remote sensing technique that shoots lasers from low-flying planes. By measuring a laser's travel time, scientists can determine the shape of the ground within a few centimeters and create a pic
Fiber optics
Fiber-optic cables send light signals down a glass or plastic fiber thinner than a strand of hair. Reflective cladding surrounding that core boosts the signal in a technique called "total internal reflection." The speed of the light passing down
3D Printing with Copper
Traditionally, copper is a very popular material due to its thermal and electrical conductivity. Recent developments have opened new possibilities in additive manufacturing.
