| With a zap of light, system switches objects' colors and patterns Posted: 04 May 2021 04:16 PM PDT ChromoUpdate is a 'programmable matter' technique to quickly change objects' color. The method uses light to alter the saturation of photochromatic ink on an item's surface and could give product designers a boost in churning out prototypes. |
| 3D 'bioprinting' used to create nose cartilage Posted: 04 May 2021 01:17 PM PDT A team of University of Alberta researchers has discovered a way to use 3-D bioprinting technology to create custom-shaped cartilage for use in surgical procedures. The work aims to make it easier for surgeons to safely restore the features of skin cancer patients living with nasal cartilage defects after surgery. |
| Confirmation of an auroral phenomenon Posted: 04 May 2021 08:26 AM PDT A new auroral phenomenon discovered a year ago is probably caused by areas of increased oxygen atom density occurring in an atmospheric wave channel. The speculative explanation offered by the researchers gained support from a new study. |
| Geology helps astronomers find habitable planets Posted: 04 May 2021 08:25 AM PDT Astronomers have identified more than 4,000, and counting, confirmed exoplanets -- planets orbiting stars other than the sun -- but only a fraction have the potential to sustain life. Now, new research is using the geology of early planet formation to help identify those that may be capable of supporting life. |
| Researchers advance 3D printing to aid tissue replacement Posted: 04 May 2021 08:25 AM PDT Researchers are looking into a possible future in which doctors can hit a button to print out a scaffold on their 3-D printers and create custom-made replacement skin, cartilage, or other tissue for their patients. |
