THE industrial revolution of the late 18th century made possible the mass production of goods, thereby creating economies of scale which changed the economy—and society—in ways that nobody could have imagined at the time. Now a new manufacturing technology has emerged which does the opposite. Three-dimensional printing makes it as cheap to create single items as it is to produce thousands and thus undermines economies of scale. It may have as profound an impact on the world as the coming of the factory did.

What's the next big breakthrough for 3D printing? Try 3D-printed blood vessels. Last September, we looked at how researchers in Germany created printable blood vessels, but a research team from MIT and the University of Pennsylvania took the idea one step further. The latest breakthrough allows researchers to create entire networks of blood vessels using a sugar-based mixture and a customized RepRap 3D printer.

OPEN up any electronic device and inside there are circuit boards, components and bundles of wire. Assembling these items into a product like a phone can be a tedious, labour-intensive process, and one that is often subcontracted to low-wage countries such as China. Now new ways of printing electronics in three dimensions are being developed. This makes it possible to incorporate circuitry and components into the material the product is made from, such as the phone’s case. It could revolutionise the way electronic goods are made.

We’ve seen more than a handful of research projects with the goal to make robots look and feel more like us humans. A team of scientists from the University of Southern California's Viterbi School of Engineering is aiming specifically to make just a single artificial finger sensor, called BioTac, that can detect textures even better than a human can.

Researchers have found plenty of uses for carbon nanotubes, but a team at Stanford's of the Bao Research Group found a new use for them: artificial skin. The researchers created a stretchable, transparent skin-like sensor that not only is elastic like skin, but can also sense touch and pressure like the real thing.

There is great concern about China’s real-estate and infrastructure bubbles. But these are just short-term challenges that China may be able to spend its way out of. The real threat to China’s economy is bigger and longer term: its manufacturing bubble.

Last week, Cisco announced its intended acquisition of relatively unknown Silicon Photonics startup Lightwire, for $271M – not exactly chump change. (For those unfamiliar with the term Silicon Photonics, it is a technology where complex photonic devices are integrated and manufactured using well-known semiconductor technologies to enable ultra-high-speed communications.) The reaction to this announcement was so strong that Jefferies downgraded Cisco-supplier Finisar, a maker of more traditional optical networking components.

GRAPHENE, a form of carbon that comes in sheets a single atom thick, has gained a reputation as a wonder material. It is the best conductor yet discovered of heat at room temperature and is 40 times stronger than steel. It is also a semiconductor whose electrical conductivity is 1,000 times better than silicon's. This means it could be used to make devices far more sensitive than is possible now, leading some to predict that it will one day become the material of choice for computer chips. There was little surprise, therefore, when Andre Geim (pictured above) and Konstantin Novoselov, two physicists who were investigating graphene's structure, won the 2010 Nobel prize for their work.

THE phrase “indoor solar power” sounds like an oxymoron. But there is growing interest in the idea of using photoelectric cells to run gadgets as well as power grids—and doing so even when those gadgets are inside buildings. Much of the light these cells used would, of necessity, come from incandescent bulbs, fluorescent tubes and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) rather than through the window from the sun. But if the right sorts of cells were available this could be cheaper than constantly replacing the batteries that currently power electronic gizmos.

The biggest innovation in the solar industry in recent years has been financial rather than technological – letting homeowners lease photovoltaic panels and avoid the steep upfront capital cost of going solar. That has driven the pell-mell growth of solar installers like SolarCity, SunRun and Sungevity even through the depths of the Great Recession.

Cobalt Technologies, a leading developer of next generation bio-based chemicals and specialty chemical company Rhodia, member of the Solvay Group, today announced they will begin joint development and operation of a biobutanol demonstration facility in Brazil. This is one more step by the two companies toward the construction of commercial-scale biorefineries using Cobalt's technology to convert Brazilian bagasse and other local non-food feedstock into bio n-butanol in Latin America. Butanol is widely used as an industrial chemical found in paints, adhesives, inks, and other solvents.

When I was a kid, we'd all pile into the Country Squire for the long trip north to see the Boston branch of the family. On one trip we stopped in Corning, N.Y., so my mother could pay her respects at the Corning Glass museum, and perhaps pick up a casserole dish or two. All I knew about Corning (NYSE: GLW ) at the time was that the company had something to do with many of my favorite meals, and confusingly had nothing to do with corn itself.

Every year, 2.1 million people die from vaccine-preventable disease—and it’s no mystery why a good number go without the immunizations that could save lives. Many live off-grid without electricity—and no refrigerators to keep vaccines cold in clinics. Without being chilled between 35-45 degrees Fahrenheit (2-8 degrees Celsius), vaccines spoil and become inactive.

For nearly 30 years lead singer Bruce Dickinson has been know worldwide as the voice of heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It's easy to see he has a passion for his music, but there's another kind of metal he's equally passionate about, airplanes. “It's pretty much like breathing really. It's one of those essential things,” says Dickinson.

Today, NASA's Mars rover Curiosity fired its laser for the first time on Mars, using the beam from a science instrument to interrogate a fist-size rock called &quot;Coronation.&quot; The mission's Chemistry and Camera instrument, or ChemCam, hit the fist-sized rock with 30 pulses of its laser during a 10-second period. Each pulse delivers more than a million watts of power for about five one-billionths of a second.

Qbotix Inc., a closely held robotics company, is developing systems that may cut the cost of energy from solar farms by as much as 20 percent. Its robotics technology is an alternative to currently available dual-axis or single-axis tracking systems, which rotate solar panels toward the sun to increase energy production, according to Wasiq Bokhari, Qbotix’s chief executive officer. “We are the first company to use mobile, intelligent robots to operate solar power plants,” he said in a phone interview.

Physicists have &quot;teleported&quot; quantum information farther than ever in a new study reported Wednesday (Sept. 5).This kind of teleportation isn't quite what Scotty was &quot;beaming up&quot; on television's Star Trek, but it does represent a kind of magic of its own. While Star Trek's teleporters transport people from place to place instantaneously, quantum teleportation sends information.A team of scientists from Austria, Canada and Germany have now beamed the quantum state of a particle of light from one island to another 89 miles (143 kilometers) away.

did a fair amount of sitting on the beach during my vacation this summer. But as any devoted beach goer knows, every hour or so you have to put down your book to adjust your umbrella or your chair's position under it. I got pretty good at predicting the path of the sun throughout the day, so could minimize my effort. Still, the process gave me an appreciation of just how much moving a solar panel has to do to track the sun.

The European Union launched an anti-dumping probe into Chinese solar panels on Thursday after an industry association claimed the products were being exported for less than it costs to make them.The complaint, filed in July by a group of 25 producers of solar gear, including companies from Germany, Italy and Spain, is the biggest-ever anti-dumping claim filed with the EU.China, the world's largest producer of solar panels, accounts for about two-thirds of global production. It exported solar panels and associated key components worth around (euro) 21 billion ($26.5 billion) to the 27-nation bloc in 2011, the EU said in a statement.

Even in these trouble economic times there are some industries that just maintain their growth, seemingly forever. Semiconductors, those tiny little electronic wonders we find in everything from radios to smartphones and LED lights, are ever increasingly in demand. Just as technologies begin to touch everything in our lives, so does the need for advanced production of these little wonders increase.

American companies operate as they shift production back to the United States using the humanoid robot to save on costs. Rethink Robotics unveiled its flagship product to the public Sept. 18.“Roboticists have been successful in designing robots capable of super-human speed and precision. What’s proven more difficult is inventing robots that can act as we do—in other words, that are able to inherently understand and adapt to their environments,” said company founder Rodney Brooks, an artificial intelligence legend and robotics pioneer having spent much of his life teaching at MIT. Rethink was founded in 2008 with the purpose of designing a robot like Baxter and carries a few other products. It is currently owned by venture capital firms and Brooks.

IMTS 2012 came with a vengeance and left us wanting more (more time to see and discover, more rest for our legs, and more IMTSTV and Twitter feeds to help us keep up)! While I verified what some of the preliminary findings suggested for potential manufacturing trends: converging technologies, mobile data solutions and the continued emergence of additive manufacturing and technology equipment interoperability … there were a few stand-outs better understood in-person.

Thermoelectric power essentially turns heat into electric power, a source which is as yet highly infeasible. While we generate a lot of heat through vehicles and in factories, even the best thermoelectric equipment can actually convert only a fraction of it.However, researchers have been able to create a new material from lead telluride which, they believe, can significantly improve the effectiveness of thermoelectric power generation.

From CAD to CNC machining, the digitalization of manufacturing is helping bring work back to America. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)There is a lot of buzz around the re-shoring of manufacturing. Re-shoring refers to manufacturing that was previous done outside of America and has been moved back to America. You will also hear the term near-shoring which refers to manufacturing work that has returned closer to America in countries such as Mexico as an example.

SAN JOSE -- The strangest thing you'll find inside the headquarters of digital-sign-maker Altierre is not the 25,000-square-foot, fully-stocked supermarket that no one shops in, though that's pretty strange. No, the strangest thing is the dozens of factory workers there who are building and testing the company's electronic signs -- work that until a year ago was done in China.
