Sólo 3 de cada 10 colombianos reconocen tristeza
En uno de los “países más felices del mundo”, el 20 % de sus habitantes dicen que “la vida les ha dado tantos golpes que ya nada les duele” y la mayoría es incapaz de reconocer emociones básicas en el rostro de su vecino. Entre los cientos de datos que arrojó la Encuesta Nacional de Salud Mental 2015 hay uno que sorprendió al psiquiatra y epidemiólogo Carlos Gómez-Restrepo. Cuando les presentaron a los 15.351 entrevistados tarjetas con imágenes de rostros que expresaban felicidad, tristeza, sorpresa o asco, la mayoría falló en la respuesta. Si bien el 90 % reconoció la alegría, apenas la mitad identificó la sorpresa y sólo un tercio fue capaz de detectar la tristeza.
Nanoscribe Will Sell a Micro 3-D Printer That Creates Tiny Structures in Seconds
Nanoscribe, a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, has developed a tabletop 3-D microprinter that can create complicated microstructures 100 times faster than is possible today. “If something took one hour to make, it now takes less than one minute,” says Michael Thiel, chief scientific officer at Nanoscribe. While 3-D printing of toys, iPhone covers, and jewelry continues to grab headlines (see “The Difference Between Makers and Manufacturers”), much of 3-D printing’s impact could be at a much smaller scale. Micrometer-scale printing has shown promise for making medical and electronic devices.

Dock at the World's First 3D-Printed House
In the future, 3D printers will help architects quickly build efficient mass housing projects from recycled materials, effectively solving the worldwide housing crisis while reducing the industry's dependency on raw materials — of course, that idealistic vision at this point remains light years away. A bold group of Dutch architects, however, have decided to bring this utopian future a little closer. DUS Architects have commenced building an experimental 3D house along a canal in Amsterdam.
