New research from scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst shows that pili—tiny filaments jutting out from bacteria—can be used to create wires used in biosensors and bioelectronics.
It uses a solid plastic filament (think thin wire) to build your figurine layer by layer. Here's the process: The filament is fed through a heated nozzle that melts the plastic. The melted plastic ...
The second attempt replaces the coiled filament with a straight wire and uses a coating paste made from Barium Carbonate mixed with nitrocellulose in a bit of acetone. When heated, the ...
The new filament yarn is available globally and can be used seamlessly across fabric applications. Its multifaceted functionality and scaled availability addresses key opportunities for the ...
