Improving Carbon Fiber Recycling Image Credit: TLaoPhotography/shutterstock.com Carbon fiber reinforced polymers are used across a diverse range of applications in the engineering and building fields. New research aims to make these materials even more useful by making them reusable.  Increased concern for the environment and diminishing supplies of natural resources coupled with a burgeoning global population and increased urbanization has led to the need for a circular economy. This means an increasing demand for materials that can be reused multiple times. Unfortunately, even some recycla...

A new device consisting of a robotic gripping arm and a fingertip-mounted sensor could perform complex tasks like holding fragile and delicate objects and even guiding thread through the eye of a needle.

How Seattle Children's Hospital is using 3D-printing to Save Lives Image Credit: Seattle Children's Hospital 3D Printing is revolutionizing the world of medicine and one hospital in particular is making it a vital part of the life-saving procedures it performs.  From allowing manned space missions to print equipment as and when needed, to simple household repair and the world of gaming, 3D printing has a marked positive effect on our lives. Yet, there is one clear aspect of the human experience in which 3D printing's impact is poised to be immeasurable  —  medicine.  Researchers are ...
