Check out the second update from Russell "Kirk" Pirlo of University of Dayton's project, "Robust Microelectronic Interconnects for Wearable Conductive Microneedle Biosensors Fabricated via A Novel Additive Manufacturing and Electrochemical Deposition Approach." Pirlo and his group have succeeded in developing additional profile types for their microneedle biosensors and refining their process for making these microneedles uniform and consistent. Ultimately, this technology will be used to monitor the health of Airmen while they are on a mission. https://lnkd.in/e44NBeUN #Dayton | #AFResearchLab | #microelectronics | #defense | #research | #innovation

Ultrathin, efficient devices can manipulate electromagnetic waves' polarization and wavefront. Proposed broadband, polarization-insensitive metasurfaces achieve this for any linearly polarized waves using meta-atoms with connected antennas and phase delay lines. Rotating the transmitting antenna and varying transmission line lengths enable polarization conversion and wavefront shaping. Prototypes, made via additive manufacturing, demonstrate vortex beams with 90° polarization conversion and anomalous refraction with 45° polarization conversion.

🚀 Exciting news from Johns Hopkins! They've developed a cutting-edge technique to spot defects during the process of powder bed fusion in nanoseconds using high-speed sensors and thermal flow analysis. "With the high-speed sensor up and running, the researchers developed a control framework that could communicate between the sensor and the laser and tell the laser to shut off when the melt pool got too hot and was likely to create a defect — all within 10 to 20 millionths of a second." This means real-time detection and correction of keyhole, leading to higher quality and reliability in 3D-printed parts. For the industry, this innovation promises smarter production, enhanced research opportunities, and wider applications—from aerospace to healthcare. The future of manufacturing just got a lot brighter! 🌟 #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Innovation #ManufacturingExcellence #JohnsHopkins #ProcessMonitoring Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eh6pQfyM

🚀 Exciting advancements are underway in materials science! Texas A&M University and Sandia National Laboratories are pioneering the use of 3D-printed shape memory alloys (SMAs) to develop Interlocking Metasurfaces (ILMs)—a groundbreaking joining technology with immense potential across aerospace, robotics, and biomedical applications. With ILMs, components can be joined without traditional fasteners like bolts or adhesives, making them reconfigurable and adaptable. Dr. Ibrahim Karaman from Texas A&M emphasizes, “Our research demonstrates that ILMs can be selectively disengaged and re-engaged on demand while maintaining consistent joint strength and structural integrity.” These innovations hold promise for sectors like aerospace, where ILMs could simplify maintenance and reduce assembly time, as well as in robotics, where flexibility and adaptability are key. We’re excited to see how SMA-based ILMs will transform industries!
