University of Maryland researchers are developing new “biofabrication” procedures that join microelectronics with biological systems. These new procedures could result in new methods to assemble devices and improve communication.

University of Adelaide researchers developed a new manufacturing method for electrical pump motors that increases efficiency in both the production process and the end product.

UT Arlington researchers have developed wind turbines that are half the size of an ant. These micro-windmills are made from a small fragment of metal that is mounted on a rectangular base, and has three blades.

A team of Hanyang University researchers in South Korea have developed flexible, electromagnetic metamaterial absorbers to reduce radiation from electronic devices. These absorbers resemble tiny “snake-shaped” unit cells and have unique properties not found in nature.
