[29/05/2008] For the first time a patient at the Orthopedic University Hospital in Heidelberg, Germany, has tested the “i-LIMB” hand. It can hold a credit card, use a keyboard with the index finger and lift a bag weighing up to 20 kilos. Each Finger Can Be Moved Separately - read more
Soldered lenses

[13/05/2008] Lenses in optical devices are kept in place by adhesives. This can cause problems when the microscopes and cameras are employed inside a vacuum, as the adhesives may release gases that contaminate the lenses. One alternative is to solder them instead. Soldered lenses - read more
Silver Particles In Ink

[07/05/2008] Conductor paths in sensor systems have to be correctly ‘wired’. Now, instead of using obtrusive connecting wires, researchers print the conductor paths. The connections thus produced are thinner, and the sensor delivers more accurate measurements. Silver Particles In Ink - read more
Small And Powerful Microchips
( Source: COMPAMED.de )
[06/05/2008] As microchips shrink, even tiny defects in the lines, dots and other shapes etched on them become major barriers to performance. Princeton engineers have now found a way to literally melt away such defects. Small And Powerful Microchips - read more
Hold Key To Future Technologies
