ProtoPrint's Fair Trade Recycled Filament. Self Assembling Robots and 2D Printing. Engineer invents safe way to transfer energy to medical chips. By Tom Abate Schecter Films Electrical engineer Ada Poon has invented a way to wirelessly transfer power deep inside the body.
The technology could provide a path toward new medical devices. A Stanford electrical engineer has invented a way to wirelessly transfer power deep inside the body, and then use this power to run tiny electronic medical gadgets such as pacemakers, nerve stimulators or new sensors and devices yet to be developed. The discoveries reported May 19 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences culminate years of efforts by Ada Poon, assistant professor of electrical engineering, to eliminate the bulky batteries and clumsy recharging systems that prevent medical devices from being more widely used.
The technology could provide a path toward a new type of medicine that allows physicians to treat diseases with electronics rather than drugs. Poon's team built an electronic device smaller than a grain of rice that acts as a pacemaker. New generation of sensors 0 Share. The 3D Printing Landfill Of Opportunity. There are lots of reasons to love 3D printing.
It democratizes manufacturing, putting consumers in granular control of the things they own — rather than requiring them to choose from a finite pre-made selection. The additive manufacturing technology also extrudes a bridge linking creativity and utility. Clothes with hidden sensors act as an always-on doctor - tech - 03 April 2014.

The fascinating and recent discovery of a new, second DNA code further lends credence to what metaphysical scientists have been saying for millennia — the body speaks two different languages.
Since the genetic code was deciphered in the 1960s, researchers have assumed that it was used exclusively to write information about proteins. But biologists have suspected for years that some kind of epigenetic inheritance occurs at the cellular level. The different kinds of cells in our bodies provide an example. Skin cells and brain cells have different forms and functions, despite having exactly the same DNA. No Such Thing As Junk DNA. Are You Ready for the Second Machine Age? Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, both at MIT's Sloan School of Management, are co-authors of "The Second Machine Age".
James Manyika is head of the McKinsey Global Institute. As the worldwide slump stretches into its sixth year, we hear ever-louder and more insistent cries that we've reached the end of innovation, and that growth is dead. Giant 3D printer could build homes in under a day. Scientists in California say new technology will soon allow massive 3D printers to build entire multi-level houses in under a day.
University of Southern California Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis has for years been working on a building printing technology called “contour crafting,” and has earned accolades from the likes of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and even NASA for his efforts. Soon, he says, he’ll be able to use that system to create entire structures out of concrete using what is essentially a gigantic 3D printer. ‘Sorry, Dave, I can’t let you do that’: Robots learn, network without humans. Starting Now, All Intel Microprocessors Are Conflict-Free: Here's How The Company Did It. Just six months into his role as CEO of Intel, Brian Krzanich announced today that the electronics giant hit a momentous goal in the world of corporate social responsibility: Starting right now, every microprocessor that Intel ships will be made entirely with conflict-free minerals.
Every piece of tantalum, tungsten, gold, and tin found in the microprocessors will come from smelters that only source minerals mined outside the quagmire of armed conflict and human rights abuse that plague parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries. The world of electronics manufacturing is complex. BI V2.0: The self-replicating 3D printer. 3D printing promises that one day we may be able to print out goods in our own homes rather than popping down to the shops or ordering widgets online.
But what happens when the printers are able to print themselves? Boots Industries’ BI V2.0 takes a step down that road with a design aimed at self-replication. Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, the open-source printer is capable of printing its own core components. Founded in 2012 by Jean Le Bouthillier and François Crête, Boots Industries already has several other printers on the market, but the BI V2.0 is something of a departure for the company.
It’s an open, large build-volume printer with clearances designed to allow for maximum use of the space inside the frame for high-precision printing. New system allows for high-accuracy, through-wall, 3-D motion tracking. Imagine playing a video game like Call of Duty or Battlefield and having the ability to lead your virtual army unit while moving freely throughout your house. Gaming could become this realistic, thanks to new technology developed by Dina Katabi’s research group at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) that allows for highly accurate, 3-D motion tracking. The new system, dubbed “WiTrack”, uses radio signals to track a person through walls and obstructions, pinpointing her 3-D location to within 10 to 20 centimeters — about the width of an adult hand. The researchers will present their findings during the Usenix Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation in April 2014.

Cubes aren't usually the go-to shape when creating an object that's meant to move around, but researchers in Switzerland have created one that can do just that — along with a handful of other surprising talents. Video of China's Historic Moon Landing Released. It’s been a busy weekend for China’s moon mission Chang’e 3.
After a successful landing on Saturday, the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center commanded the lander’s rover to roll onto the lunar surface early Sunday morning (Beijing Time). Now, a beautiful video has been released of the full landing sequence, shown here. At approximately 3 minutes into the video, the Chang’e 3 lander rotates to begin its vertical descent onto Sinus Iridum (the Bay of Rainbows), an ancient lava plain in the moon’s northern hemisphere. The descent onto lunar regolith had a very Apollo-landing feel as the lander’s thrusters blew moon dust away from the landing site at around the 6 minute mark. Then, as the lander reached 4 meters from the surface, its engines switched off, causing the robot to drop, unaided, the rest of the way. More Discovery News coverage of China’s moon landing:
