3D printing has come a long way since its invention back in the 1980s. The clunky mechanical components of old have been substituted out for refined, slick, and precision machined parts that enable additive manufacturing on a scale never seen before. Regardless, the throughput of the technology is still far behind that of conventional manufacturing …
With more and more focus being shifted on sustainable energy sources, investment in electric vehicles is at all-time highs. Of course, most of these vehicles are still conventionally manufactured, but OEMs have slowly started to employ the use of additive manufacturing technology in a bid to cut both costs and lead times. Tesla goes additive …
Everyone up to date on biotechnological advances has heard of the CRISPR system for editing genomes. But it is also true that there is a lot of fuss about this technology, and not for nothing. The original function of this bacterial system is one of the most ingenious ways for simple organisms to acquire immunity …

Allergies are increasingly common pathologies in human society. In the past, it was believed that they were due to an exaggerated reaction of the immune system to a specific antigen or a hypersensitive reaction. Today we know that it is actually the harmlessness of the external agent that leads to pathogenesis, paradoxically. In fact, there …
The last big technological advancement in the automotive industry was Henry Ford’s invention of the assembly line in 1913. Over a century later, it is now time for another tech revolution to take place, and this time, robots will take the lead. What are Collaborative Robots? Collaborative Robots, or Cobots, are essentially robots that work …
Insurance is part of everyday life. The concept provides not only peace of mind but protection and mitigation to the risks of everyday living. Take into consideration car, life, health, and even natural disaster insurance and suddenly the coverage and amount of claims going through everyday can be daunting. There is also the risk of …
The insurance industry has historically had many challenges, including an overabundance of data, manual computation of each transaction, and long, boring work hours for employees resulting in slow service. For all of these problems, exists one solution: Robotics Process Automation (RPA). What is an RPA? Traditionally, insurance companies either computed every transaction and its data …
With how far 3D printing has come to date, the applications of the technology seem to be endless. As well as the conventional headliners such as aerospace, medical, and automotive, companies and researchers alike are now using 3D printing to produce functional energy storage devices such as batteries. Lithium-ion batteries in particular have become essential …
The ills of the current energy model are becoming increasingly evident in many environmental and health areas. Since humans became aware of the potential of fossil fuels, there has been no real profound change in how we use them. It is true that we have learned to store electrical energy and even developed fission nuclear …

Many great scientists have argued throughout history about what living things are. Until not so long ago, minerals were considered the third kingdom of life, as they grew in the eyes of the experimenter from tiny particles to perfectly ordered crystals. The growth and reproduction of the characteristics contained in a body is therefore a …
