3D Printed Textiles

#235
MIT media lab student Jack Forman used the under extrusion of a 3D printer to print a flexible textile material. Under-extrusion is when not enough plastic is consistently poured from the nozzle of a 3D printer, resulting in gaps in the printed material. By purposefully introducing these gaps, the printed material is solid and flexible. Check out the demo video which shows rolls of material being printed as well as applications like clothing and shuttlecocks.

Bill Gates On Vehicles

#226
Bill Gates published a blog post about his thoughts on the future of transport, in particularly vehicle transport. Electric vehicles are great for short haul, provided the efficiency of battery weight to range is improved. He sees the future of long-haul transport in biofuels, that can take CO2 from the atmosphere and combine with water to create hydrogen without any waste. These biofuels power vehicles and extract CO2 from the air, a win win!
