The City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has successfully developed a novel tunable terahertz (THz) meta-device for signal delivery to specific receivers. The newly developed novel tunable terahertz mete device offers many benefits for 6G communications, wireless power transfer, and remote sensing. The new machine is made using advanced 3D printing technology. Its low-cost production…

A team at The Chinese University, Hong Kong (CUHK), working with Carnegie Mellon University, has developed a new approach to 3D printing, allowing ultra-fine (Nano) products to be produced with improved resolution, rate of production, and lower manufacturing costs in a variety of materials. According to a press release by CUHK, a multi-disciplined research team headed…

An Australian industrial designer and artist has discovered another potential use for the 3-d printer, saving the world’s reefs, and the art world is supporting his research. Alex Goad, founder and director of Reef Design Lab, has utilised his knowledge of industrial design and his hobby of scuba diving to create viable marine habitats, that…

For the first time ever, 3D-printed safety components have been installed in a commercial nuclear reactor, marking the latest advancement in 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, for nuclear power. The components were brackets for a fuel assembly. (The fuel assembly is the bundle of rods full of fissionable material that powers nuclear reactors.) The brackets…
