Researchers have demonstrated the first chip-based 3D printer, a tiny device that emits reconfigurable beams of visible light into a well of resin that rapidly cures into a solid shape. The advance ...

It’s understood that 3D printers and CNC machines need to control motors, but there are a few other niceties that are always good to have. It would be great if the controller board ran Linux, had ...

Every once in a while, a technology comes along that seems like it’s been beamed down from the land of holodecks and dilithium crystals. A 3D printer that fits in the palm of your hand and produces ...

Inkjet printers could be the chip factories of the future, squirting out circuits made from layers of organic semiconducting ink. Experiments at the University of Arizona, Tucson, have demonstrated ...

Typically, researchers build microfluidic chips with techniques such as lithography, which requires a costly and time-consuming process to make 2-D photomasks that contain the chip’s design. Some ...

Back in 2018 we reported on the first silicon integrated circuit to be produced in a homemade chip fab. It was the work of [Sam Zeloof], and his Z1 chip was a modest six-transistor amplifier. Not one ...

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 2006--SigmaTel (NASDAQ:SGTL), a leader in mixed-signal, multimedia semiconductors, today announced its new system on chip (SoC) solution for the personal photo ...

Inkjet printers could be the chip factories of the future, squirting out circuits made from layers of organic semiconducting ink. Experiments at the University of Arizona, Tucson, have demonstrated ...

Canon is still feeling the impact of the global chip shortage as it cuts down costs and diminishes parts on its products. Recently, the camera maker announced that it would now sell printer cartridges ...

(Nanowerk News) Imagine a portable 3D printer you could hold in the palm of your hand. The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to ...
