Laser-based 3D printing can already be used today to produce any structure on a micrometer scale. However, for many applications, especially in biomedicine, it would be advantageous if the printed objects were not rigid but switchable. Researchers have now been able to print microstructures that change shape under the influence of temperature or light. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190129124956.htm

Electro-static Levitation Furnace (ELF): Over the weekend, a crewmember installed ELF cartridge unit 001. ELF is an experimental facility designed to levitate, melt and solidify materials by containerless processing techniques using the electrostatic levitation method. With this facility thermophysical property of high temperature, melts can be measured and solidification from deeply undercooled melts can be … from ISS On-Orbit Status Report https://blogs.nasa.gov/stationreport/2019/01/28/iss-daily-summary-report-1-28-2019/

Graphene is a promising material for use in nanoelectronics. Its electronic properties depend greatly, however, on how the edges of the carbon layer are formed. Zigzag patterns are particularly interesting in this respect, but until now it has been virtually impossible to create edges with a pattern like this. Chemists and physicists have now succeeded in producing stable nanographene with a zigzag edge. Not only that, the method they used was even comparatively simple. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190129101915.htm

Engineers have developed a new coating strategy for metal that self-heals within seconds when scratched, scraped or cracked. The novel material could prevent these tiny defects from turning into localized corrosion, which can cause major structures to fail. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190129093717.htm

New experimental results change the way we think about high-temperature superconductors. This may show us the way to the 'holy grail of solid state physics' -- the high-temperature superconductor which works at room temperature. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190129093720.htm

Taking the first step towards actualizing a blueprint of the brain, researchers have developed a novel technique capable of tracing intricate neural connections with unprecedented sensitivity. By innovatively combining cutting-edge genetic tools with the established technique of monosynaptic tracing, scientists have created a powerful new tool named intersectional monosynaptic tracing (iMT), capable of unraveling the elaborate circuits within the brain. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190128161523.htm

Move over trust falls and ropes courses, turns out playing video games with coworkers is the real path to better performance at the office. A new study by information systems professors found newly-formed work teams experienced a 20 percent increase in productivity on subsequent tasks after playing video games together for just 45 minutes. The study adds to a growing body of literature finding positive outcomes of team video gaming. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190129081930.htm

In a scientific first, neuroengineers have created a system that translates thought into intelligible, recognizable speech. This breakthrough, which harnesses the power of speech synthesizers and artificial intelligence, could lead to new ways for computers to communicate directly with the brain. It also lays the groundwork for helping people who cannot speak, such as those living with as ALS or recovering from stroke, regain their ability to communicate with the outside world. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190129081919.htm
