NASA researchers are working on a telescope that could be up to 100 times bigger than any that have come before it. To make this possible, several experiments are being conducted to see if fluids can be used to create lenses in microgravity. The next step in this project is stowed on the International Space Station National Laboratory waiting for the arrival of Axiom-1 astronauts to test out.
University of Bristol researchers have created a human-like fingertip that feels like actual skin. That’s right, this artificial fingertip was created using a 3D-printed mesh of pin-like papillae on the underside of the compliant skin, which mimics the dermal papillae found between the outer epidermal and inner dermal layers of real human tactile skin. The papillae were fabricated on advanced 3D-printers capable of mixing together soft and hard materials to create complicated structures like those found in biology.
