Microbial miners take on rare-earth metals
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03611-4?
As a tech-hungry world gobbles up rare-earth elements, researchers are adapting bacteria that can isolate and purify the metals in the absence of harsh chemicals.
Scientists 3D print a robotic hand with human-like bones and tendons
Equipped with touch pads and pressure sensors, the robotic hand has 19 tendon-like structures (in humans, tendons are the fibrous connective tissues that connect bones and muscles) that allow it to move the wrist and fingers. The hand can sense touch, grab things, and stop fingers when they touch something
Design Thinking Misses the Mark
https://ssir.org/articles/entry/design_thinking_misses_the_mark?
Design thinking has failed to deliver on its promise to solve the world’s thorniest social challenges. Adopting a critical design stance can help designers serve communities, rather than their own methodology.
Why superconductor research is in a ‘golden age’ — despite controversy
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03551-z?
The progress is fuelled in part by the new capabilities of computer simulations to predict the existence and properties of undiscovered materials.
