Researchers based in the USA have used Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) technology from New Mexico-based 3D printer manufacturers Optomec to develop a graphene-based electrochemical sensor for testing food. According to the study, the sensor is capable of detecting histamines (allergens) and toxins in food much faster than standard laboratory tests. The ability to alter the […]
International consortium develops 3D printable alloy for more eco-friendly refrigerators
An international materials research project has yielded a 3D printable metal alloy that can make cooling systems, like those used in refrigerators, more eco-friendly and efficient. Made from a combination of nickel and titanium, the material is a type of shape memory alloy that can repeatedly transform to pump heat out of a system. The […]
