From the team that previusly printed a replica of the Vail Register telegraph: Cornell researchers have 3-D printed a working loudspeaker, seamlessly integrating the plastic, conductive and magnetic parts, and ready for use almost as soon as it comes out of the printer. via Fully functional loudspeaker is 3-D printed | Cornell Chronicle.
Researchers led by H. Jerry Qi, an associate professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, is using heat and mechanical pressure to transform flat objects into three-dimensional structures. They printed an unfolded box with glassy polymer fibers — a composite material that has “shape memory behavior” — along the folds. They heated it, pulled on…
University of Washington created a wireless communication system that allows devices to interact by harvesting power from the environment.. See the complete paper here: http://www.theengineer.co.uk/Journals/2013/08/14/u/g/g/comm153-liu.pdf Using so-called ambient backscatter, these devices can reportedly interact with users and communicate with each other without using batteries because they exchange information by reflecting or absorbing pre-existing radio signals from TV…
