MIT researchers are finding ways to make the dining experience interactive and fun, with food that can transform its shape when water is added.The researchers, from MIT’s Tangible Media Group, have concocted something akin to edible origami, in the form of flat sheets of gelatin and starch that, when submerged in water, instantly sprout into three-dimensional structures, including common pasta shapes such as macaroni and rotini.

A light wave sent through empty space always oscillates in the same direction. However, certain materials can be used to rotate the direction in which the light is oscillating when placed in a magnetic field. This is known as a 'magneto-optical' effect.After much speculation spanning a long period of time, one variant of this type of effect has now been demonstrated at TU Wien for the first time.

As ESPRIT becomes smarter it enables faster programming, and CAM industry innovator DP Technology has announced the release of ESPRIT 2017, the latest version of its pioneering flagship product.ESPRIT 2017 delivers a smarter, simpler, faster machining process with expert toolpath, streamlined user control, and accelerated processing power.

SCANLAB GmbH has developed a scan system for oscillating-laser-beam cutting and welding. The welDYNA scan head unites the advantages of higher laser powers and maximum dynamics. Considerable process benefits are gained by welding and cutting with highfrequency beam oscillation, particularly in macro material processing of larger components.For example, thick metal sheets and fiber-reinforced plastics can be cut more quickly and cleanly. Diverse m...

The company is showcasing its flagship RenAM 500M metal additive manufacturing system and providing demonstrations of its build preparation software, QuantAM. Renishaw can be f...

The brave new world of 3D printed organs now includes implanted ovary structures that, true to their design, actually ovulate, according to a study by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and McCormick School of Engineering.By removing a female mouse's ovary and replacing it with a bioprosthetic ovary, the mouse was able to not only ovulate but also give birth to healthy pups. The moms were even able to nurse their young.
