Direct sound printing is a potential game-changer in 3D printing
Most 3D printing methods currently in use rely either on photo (light)- or thermo (heat)-activated reactions to achieve precise manipulation of polymers. The development of a new platform technology called direct sound…
Error-free quantum computing gets real
In modern computers errors during processing and storage of information have become a rarity due to high-quality fabrication. However, for critical applications, where even single errors can have serious effects, error correction…
China’s TCab Tech tests transition flights with half-scale E20 eVTOL demonstrator
China’s TCab Tech has released footage of its transition flight test using its half-scale E20 eVTOL demonstrator. The E20 50% subscale demonstrator features a 6-m wingspan, two lift propellers and four tilt…
Ultrathin fuel cell uses the body’s own sugar to generate electricity
Engineers have developed a glucose power source that could fuel miniature implants and sensors. Glucose is the sugar we absorb from the foods we eat. It is the fuel that powers every…
