3D printing 100 times faster with light

Rather than building up plastic filaments layer by layer, a new approach to 3D printing lifts complex shapes from a vat of liquid at up to 100 times faster than conventional 3D printing processes. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190111143736.htm

Making ammonia 'greener'

Researchers have come up with a new way to create ammonia from nitrogen and water at low temperature and low pressure. They've done it successfully so far in a laboratory without using hydrogen or the solid metal catalyst necessary in traditional processes. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190111143731.htm

Technique identifies electricity-producing bacteria

Engineers have developed a microfluidic technique that can quickly process small samples of bacteria and gauge a specific property that's highly correlated with bacteria's ability to produce electricity. They say that this property, known as polarizability, can be used to assess a bacteria's electrochemical activity in a safer, more efficient manner compared to current techniques. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190111143740.htm

Powerful microscope captures first image of nanoscaffold that promotes cell movement

Using one of the most powerful microscopes in the world, scientists have identified a dense, dynamic and disorganized actin filament nanoscaffold -- resembling a haystack -- that is induced in response to a molecular signal. This is the first time researchers have directly visualized, at the molecular level, a structure that is triggered in response to a cellular signal -- a key finding that expands our understanding of how cells move. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190111095133.htm
