Materials used in the fields of aerospace, automobiles, medical equipment, and defense need to withstand extremely harsh environments. Small flaws in the materials, such as cracks, can lead to catastrophic consequences and massive economic loss. However, most materials cannot handle such high temperatures and pressures. Multi-materials, like functionally graded materials (FGMs), which combine different materials to produce improved performance, are ideal in this situation.
Video description In this video, see what a pulse oximeter measures and how it works.
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich in Germany and the University of Turin in Italy used extensive data analysis to create first-class electrochemical cells from copper complexes that emit blue and white light.
Researchers at the Max Planck ETH Center for Learning Systems, Germany, have developed an imaging technique that for the first time recognizes cell-sized microrobots individually and at high resolution in a living organism.
Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley demonstrated the ability to 3D-print microscopic objects in silica glass through volumetric additive manufacturing, part of an effort to produce delicate, layer-less optics that can be built in seconds or minutes.
