Solution for foldable glass displays: LPKF enables fatigue-free folding of glass

May 2019

Foldable displays are the newest trend in smartphone technology. Current folding displays are made of plastics and are therefore prone to scratches, wrinkles and premature breakdown and malfunc-tion. Conventional smartphone displays do not have these problems because they are made up of at least two layers of tempered glass. Due to the glass, however, these displays cannot be folded easily. LPKF Laser & Electronics AG presents a solution for this problem at this year’s SID Display Week. (…)

DFAB HOUSE is officially open

March 2019

DFAB HOUSE has officially opened today on the NEST building of Empa and Eawag in Dübendorf (Switzerland). It is the world’s first inhabited “house” that was not only digitally planned, but also – with the help of robots and 3D printers – built largely digitally. The construction technologies were developed by ETH Zurich researchers in collaboration with industrial partners. A delicate concrete ceiling – cast in 3D-printed formwork – and a curved concrete wall created by a construction (…)

The first dexterous and sentient hand prosthesis has been successfully implanted

February 2019

A European project has developed the first clinically viable dexterous and sentient prosthetic hand usable in real life. This next-generation medical device heralds a breakthrough for the recovery of hand function after amputation. CSEM has contributed to the development with its ultra-low-power processing and communication technology. Despite decades of research and development on artificial limbs, amputees currently have to make do with powered prostheses based on 40-year old technology. (…)
