  • Researchers uncover culprits behind pitting corrosion in 3D-printed stainless steel

    Like a hidden enemy, pitting corrosion attacks metal surfaces, making it difficult to detect and control. This type of corrosion, primarily caused by prolonged contact with seawater in nature, is especially problematic for naval vessels.

  • Profluent, spurred by Salesforce research and backed by Jeff Dean, uses AI to discover medicines

    Last year, Salesforce, the company best known for its cloud sales support software (and Slack), spearheaded a project called ProGen to design proteins using generative AI. A research moonshot, ProGen could — if brought to market — help uncover medical treatments more cost effectively than traditional methods, the researchers behind it claimed in a January […] © 2024 TechCrunch.

  • UNM researchers discover microplastic in placentas

    ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – It's an alarming discovery tied to pregnancy in new research led by the University of New Mexico. Scientists have found trace amounts of plastic in 100% of the human placentas they tested. "It was easy to find the plastics, that was probably the part that was alarming to us," Matthew Campen, UNM Department of []

    How to 3D-print a school in a war zone

    By Rebecca Cairns, CNN (CNN) — With its soft gray lines and sleek, curving exterior, Project Hive looks less like a school and more like a wellness retreat or modern art museum. The structure’s distinctive appearance, with a texture resembling a cocoon or the structure’s namesake beehive, is down to the construction method used to

  • Check Out This Functional 3D Printed Macintosh

    Designer Kevin Noki recently spent months creating his own homemade, functional Macintosh built from the ground up, which he dubbed the "Brewintosh." Designed to look like the Macintosh Plus, the machine Noki crafted features a 3D printed exterior and components, and it works like the real deal. In a 47-minute video, Noki walks through the process that he used to create the device. As Ars Technica points out, Noki went completed more than 29 complex steps, each of which was a major task on...

  • Researchers discover evolutionary 'tipping point' in fungi

    Scientists have found a "tipping point" in the evolution of fungi that throttles their growth and sculpts their shapes. The findings, published in the journal Cell Reports, demonstrate how small changes in environmental factors can lead to huge changes in evolutionary outcomes.
