Applied nanosciences offer new possibilities for decorative printing and processing, as outlined by Prof. Dr. Silvia Schintke from HEIG-VD-VD/HES-SO Switzerland With the increasing development of 2D and 3D printing technologies, applied nanosciences, in particular functional nanocomposites and all-solution processing techniques have gained novel economic interest. For example, for industrial applications...

Professor Jonathan Cooper from the Faculty of Engineering at University of Bristol discusses the constant drive for aircraft manufacturers to develop more fuel-efficient designs and new configurations Today’s commercial jet aircraft all look very similar and haven’t changed fundamentally over the past 50 years; essentially the designs consists of a...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency to further scientific progress, as Open Access Government reveals The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure...

Julien Scheibert, researcher at CNRS/Ecole Centrale de Lyon explores the fascinating world of frictional metamaterials and their potential

Dr. Y. C. Francis Thio and Dr. F. Douglas Witherspoon turn the spotlight on how lower-cost pathways to fusion energy can be attractive to investors

Professors Jan Torgersen and Filippo Berto highlight how new technologies are helping to develop the next generation structural components

The opportunities provided by fusion should not be overlooked. Here, Michael Delage, of General Fusion Inc. explains the potential of the energy source A cornerstone of any realistic path to overcoming climate change is developing sources of energy that are emission-free, on-demand and economically viable. Such sources would sustain the...

Applied nanosciences offer new possibilities for printing and processing, as outlined by Prof. Dr. Silvia Schintke from Heig-VD/HES-SO Switzerland

Quantum technology is a rapidly developing field, with great potential for nanoelectronic applications, as Dr Takis Kontos relates Many machines made by mankind can be considered as hybrid systems to a large extent. An old windmill, for example, combines the softness of the sails with the stiffness of the wood...
