Anjan Contractor’s 3D food printer might evoke visions of the “replicator” popularized in Star Trek , from which Captain Picard was constantly interrupting himself to order tea . And indeed Contractor’s company, Systems & Materials Research Corporation , just got a six month, $125,000 grant from NASA to create a prototype of his universal food synthesizer.
A 3D printer produced invisible cloak could be the next advancement with interesting and, some might say, frightening consequences, according to a Monday report from Science Daily . (The full report was originally published in the academic journal Optics Letters .) Following up on Duke University engineering experiments from 2006, assistant research professor in electrical and computer engineering for the school told the website that “anyone who can spend a couple thousand dollars on a non-industry grade 3D printer can literally make a plastic cloak overnight.” Not good news for those of you who may be somewhat frightened at successful recent experiments producing firearms through the 3D printing process (aka stereolithographic fabrication). What’s so worrisome about “a plastic cloak”
AmniosyA , a design collective from Florence Italy made their first collection EntropyA.
L’Oreal Research & Innovation organized a contest for rewarding its teams on three main themes: active ingredient, process & methodology, collaboration. Design firm Chevalvert created the trophies that were given to the winners
RISE:2013 highlights: Kinect rehab, Lego lobsters, 3D printed tech and more
We were excited and honored when the administration at Northeastern University asked us to help judge its RISE:2013 Research, Innovation and Scholarship Expo. The event, held at the physical education center on the school’s Boston campus, brings together an incredibly diverse array of research projects covering a impressive number of fields, including physical and life sciences, engineering, humanities, arts & design, computer and information sciences, health sciences, law, business and social sciences.
