ARBURGadditive: Applications for injection molders in industrial 3D printing
At Fakuma 2024, Arburg is showcasing two exhibits used for industrial additive manufacturing, focusing on applications that are of particular interest to injection molding customers.
Silver nanoparticle–based self-hygienic resin developed for use in dental applications
The researchers used a mechanical coating technique with a concentration of less than 0.03% silver without the need for additional equipment.
Roundworms may be key to scar-free healing
To potentially treat deep injuries that affect the dermis and often lead to scar tissue, the team focused on the roundworm, which naturally infests the intestines of rodents.
EPA launches Water Quality Indicators tool
Users can analyze water data and identify pollution problems in their communities including the potential polluters.
Moonshine: Harvesting water for lunar missions
A process for harvesting water in situ from lunar regolith will help support future missions to the Moon.

Greater speed in imaging has been achieved with the development of a microscopy system that can generate images representing events lasting just one quintillionth of a second.
Self-locking flat-packed tubular structures inspired by origami
The self-locking system is inspired by curved-crease origami, which uses curved crease lines in paper folding.
Artificial plants purify indoor air, generate electricity
The team used five biological solar cells in addition to their photosynthetic bacteria to create an artificial leaf to serve as a type of air purification system?.
Solvents poach nanoplastics from water
A liquid solvent-based solution offers a simple, effective means to extract nanoplastics present in potable water supplies.
Spinning spider silk into bandages
Calling the artificial spider silk strong, stable and easily spun, the researchers added that the material is also biocompatible and biodegradable and can reportedly outperform steel in terms of tensile strength.
