At Georgia Tech, science fiction has moved closer toward reality. Gil Weinberg, Minoru Shinohara, and Mason Bretan have developed an ultrasonic sensor that allows amputees to individually move the fingers of their prosthetic hands. They've been able to make detailed maps of small muscle movements...
For the first time, the Bugatti developers have succeeded in designing a brake caliper by 3-D printing. But that is by no means all. While the main material used for the additive production of vehicle components to date has been aluminium, the new brake caliper is...

Thanks to 3D printing, objects could be connected to Wi-Fi. In November, researchers printed objects in 3D while using the so-called backscattering technique, or backscattering. A copper filament antenna was integrated into each object when it was printed in 3D. This allows to reflect the radio signal sent...
