Cheap and Useful 3D Printed Electronics
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: 3D printing, mobile phones, solar power, sustainability
Nice.
Shopping trends change from time to time while consumers continue to search for more affordable products with better functionality and specs. Researchers and developers around the world continue to improve company products while lessening the cost of producing these materials.
Gadgets like smartphones, LED lights, tablets and solar cells are already part of the mainstream, and it is not going to change anytime soon. Companies that are involved in this industry must always keep a competitive edge against other manufacturers.

Lockheed Martin Submits Patent for 3D Printed Synthetic Diamond
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: 3D printing, biotech/medical
Check it out! Finally! Now get ready to mass produce synthetic diamonds for QC, medical tech, etc.
Every additive manufacturing (AM) system offers the potential for endless creativity. As designers learn to embrace the possibilities offered by digital design and AM, the number of applications for the technology increases. Everything has its limits, however, and for AM those limits are sometimes related to materials.

World not prepared for biological attacks, new technology threats: Ban Ki-moon
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: 3D printing, bioengineering, biological, government, robotics/AI, security, space
CISO & CSO at many companies are certainly going to have their work cut out for them in the long-term future as more and more new tech such as 3D Printing, Synthetic Bio, etc. are adopted into companies; really brings a new level of security concerns not only in government; but also the private sector.
He pointed out that while there were international organisations to prevent the spread of nuclear and chemical weapons, there was no such agency to deal with biological weapons.
Speaking at the Council debate on weapons of mass destruction (WMD), he sought to expand its definition beyond nuclear, chemical and biological to embrace the threats arising from 21st century science, technology and globalisation.

Accessible Synthetic Biology Raises New Concerns for DIY Biological Warfare
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: 3D printing, bioengineering, biotech/medical, genetics, habitats, military
Good; glad they are hearing us. Because it is a huge issue for sure especially with some of the things that I seen some of the researchers proposing to use CRISPR, 3D Printers, etc. to create some bizarre creatures. Example, in March to scientists in the UK wanted to use CRISPR to create a dragon; personally I didn’t expect it to be successful. However, the scientists didn’t consider the fallout to the public if they had actually succeeded.
For a few hundred dollars, anyone can start doing genetic editing in the comfort of their own home.

Scientists are working on a real-life Star Trek phaser
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: 3D printing, cyborgs, drones, food, military, robotics/AI
Want to be the next Captain Kirk or Spock; we’re getting more close of being a Star Trek & Star Wars world with drones and fighter jets with death lasers, cyborgs with BMI technology, sabers being developed, and now the Star Trek phaser is being developed.
Every year Star Trek’s futuristic sci-fi technology comes closer to just being “technology.” We live in a world where video chats, communicators, and real-time translators are normal, where androids are becoming more and more realistic and food replicators are almost here thanks to 3D printing. The next step? Phasers!
