Squeezing a diamond sandwich produces useful data
Scientists have searched, for decades, for a way to apply the exceptional analytical capabilities of neutrons to materials under pressures approaching those surrounding the Earth’s core. These extreme pressures can rearrange a material’s atoms, potentially resulting in interesting new properties.
X-ray microscopy overcomes previous limits
The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) announced that a joint research team led by Professor YongKeun Park of the Department of Physics and Dr. Jun Lim of the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory has succeeded in developing a core technology that can overcome the resolution limitations of existing x-ray microscopes.
How 3D printed food can change the way we look at eating
The amount of freedom 3D printing grants its users garnered the interest of some researchers and inspired them to use these devices for food production. By mimicking FDM 3D printer’s extrusion system and software that is similar to slicers used in 3D printing, making multimaterial meals is now a possibility.
