Using nanolithography, Dr. Kelly Morrison and her team at Loughborough University in Leicestershire, England have created the world’s smallest violin, measuring only 35 microns long and 13 microns wide. For reference, the average width of a human hair is about 50 microns. Damn, that’s one small violin! Unfortunately it’s not

First, he had a CT scanned performed, then 3D printed a replica of his own skull in glass fiber reinforced nylon. Then, the skull was electroplated with Nanovate, a nano-crystallized metal alloy that ramps up energy

In an effort to highlight the advances in Chinese robotics, over 20 humanoid robots competed in the recent Beijing Half Marathon (13.1-miles) to see how they stack up against humans. Many didn’t finish, but several did, with the fastest, a robot named Tiangong Ultra, finishing with a time of 2

This is a clip from the BBC’s ‘The Secret Genius of Modern Life’ explaining why sausages work to use touchscreens (I thought it was because they look enough like fingers to fool the screen), and how touchscreens actually work.
