Innovative Method Prints Nanomaterials onto 3D Objects and Flexible Surfaces Using Plasma

The printing process continuously evolved since the days of Johannes Gutenberg. A new technique has been developed by a team of researchers at NASA Ames and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, to print nanomaterials onto three-dimensional objects or flexible surfaces, such as a cloth or paper, using plasma. The breakthrough process has potential to help build devices, such as integrated circuits, flexible memory devices and batteries, wearable chemical and biological sensors, easily and cost-effectively.

Eggshell Nanoparticle-Infused Bioplastics Ideally Suited for Packaging Materials

Eggshells, when placed on end, can be as strong as the arches holding the ancient Roman aqueducts. However they easily crack in the middle, prompting us to throw them away. Researchers suggest that adding tiny eggshell pieces to bioplastic can create a biodegradable packaging material, a first-of-its-kind, which bends but does not break so easily.
