Researchers from the A*STAR’s Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) developed a new manufacturing system of next generation Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) which could dramatically improve the way small electronic devices keep cool. Named liquid forging, the new technique has taken the first leap from research laboratory towards the global market in high-powered lighting. Many… »

We already wrote about several 3D printers, capable to help in rapid prototyping, however, researchers at the Vienna University of Technology have developed a much smaller, lighter and cheaper 3D printer. With this kind of printer, everyone could produce small, custom-made 3D-objects at home, using building plans from the internet – and this could save… »
