Among those research centers, and this is not an exhaustive list, are Imec Holst […] Northeastern 3-D printer next big thing using tiny particles The next big thing in three-dimensional printing is small — so small it’s practically two-dimensional. A machine unveiled Wednesday by Northeastern University promises to speed up the manufacturing and drive down the cost of everything from consumer electronics to prescription drugs by printing in ultra-thin layers as minuscule as 20 nanometers. That’s 1,000 times thinner […] Ahmed Busnaina for Northeastern Global NewsIs airplane turbulence really getting worse?Ahmed Busnaina, who studied the design of jet engines, says the aerospace industry is taking reports of increased turbulence seriously. Northeastern professor patents revolutionary nanomanufacturing process, slashing chip production costs by 99%Ahmed A. Busnaina has patented a new printing process and printer that can manufacture microelectronics more efficiently and cheaply. Come give the men’s hockey team a send-off to the NCAA TournamentThe men's hockey team will join a send-off party on Tuesday at noon at the Curry Student Center’s West Addition on the Boston campus. Northeastern unveils second-generation nanoscale manufacturing systemUniversity researchers and leaders showcased NanoOPS Gen 2 on Wednesday at Northeastern’s campus in Burlington, Massachusetts. The pioneering manufacturing technology is designed to spur innovation in fields such as medicine, electronics, and energy storage. Northeastern unveils state-of-the-art nanoscale printing systemUniversity leaders and researchers joined representatives from industry and government agencies on Wednesday at Northeastern's Kostas Research Institute to celebrate NanoOPS, a new nanoscale printing system that could transform nanomanufacturing and spur innovation in areas such as electronics, medicine, and energy storage. 3Qs: The 3-D printing of tomorrowProfessor Ahmed Busnaina’s method of directed assembly is faster, cheaper, and more versatile than traditional 3-D printing.
