Engineers have developed a new design strategy and 3D printing technique to build robots in one single step. The breakthrough enabled the entire mechanical and electronic systems needed to operate a robot to be manufactured all at once by a new type of 3D printing process for engineered active materials with multiple functions (also known as metamaterials). Once 3D printed, a 'meta-bot' will be capable of propulsion, movement, sensing and decision-making...
Labor shortages in manufacturing, coupled with strong demand, supply chain delays, and increasing global competition, are creating unprecedented challenges for many industries. With plant jobs still widely unfilled, the manufacturing workforce is being squeezed to fill orders and meet increasing demand with fewer trained workers on the production lines,

Working closely with manufacturing executives as they strategically address these challenges I’ve gained valuable insight on not just how we got here, but more importantly how we move forward in a way that helps plants boost productivity and performance with...
EPFL scientists have developed a new, PET-like plastic that is easily made from the non-edible parts of plants. The plastic is tough, heat-resistant, and a good barrier to gases like oxygen, making it a promising candidate for food packaging. Due to its structure, the new plastic can also be chemically recycled and degrade back to harmless sugars in the environment.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that moving away from fossil fuels and avoiding the accumulation of plastics in the environment are key to addressing the challenge of climate change. In that vein, there are considerable efforts to develop degradable or recyclable polymers made from non-edible plant material referred to as...
