Researchers at Singapore University of Technology and Design have created prototype strain engineered materials that enable fast switching in data storage, outperforming current phase change memory technologies. The new material's energy efficiency and reduced switching time could impact new 3D memory architectures.
A research team introduced a new approach to simplify and increase the potential of 4D printing, which allows high-resolution components to be designed, printed, and transformed into new permanent configurations using heat. This method saves time and materials by up to 90% and completely eliminates the mechanical programming process.
Researchers have developed a highly stretchable and UV curable elastomer that can be stretched by up to 1100%, making it suitable for 3D printing techniques. The new material enables the direct creation of complex structures and devices, such as soft robotic grippers, with significantly reduced fabrication time.
Researchers at Singapore University of Technology and Design have developed a compact optical amplifier that can amplify light by 17,000 times, strengthening the integrity of transmitted data. The device's efficiency enables new opportunities in low-cost broadband spectroscopy, precision manufacturing, and hyperspectral imaging.
