3D ScanningFast, Easy and Low-costWith Skanect, capturing a full color 3d model of an object, a person or a room has never been so easy and affordable. Skanect transforms your Microsoft Kinect or Asus Xtion camera into an ultra-low cost scanner able to create 3D meshes out of real scenes in a few minutes. Enter…

This machine uses lasers to scan a small object, allowing you to replicate it in a 3D Printer. It’s an early adopter thing that costs $1400,- but allows you to print stuff without any knowledge of 3D modelling. Digitizer | 3D Scanner | 3D Scanning | MakerBot.

A very clear howto on creating your own PCB and how to plan and execute your design. How to Make the Perfect PCB – Part 1 – Michael Leonard.

By printing layered objects within the structure of an object you can put more information inside it to be read with a millimetric radar. Microsoft Has Invented a Way To Embed Data in 3D Printed Objects.

The makerbot scans items using cameras and laters and saves the 3d model so that you can replicate it later on a 3d printer. http://store.makerbot.com/digitizer.html

It uses various plastics, meaning you can print in various colours and should cost between $1500 – $2000. Fabbster is a German comapnymand the product looks very good.

Leaf spine has no tiers and allows data between server nodes to communicate much faster with lower latency. In an age of cloud computing where there is lots of data communication between servers or nodes inside the network, have to go up and down through the tiers is inefficient. No more tiers for flatter networks…

Boffins triple battery life with metal foam • The Register.

at the Vienna University of Technology, a printing device has now been developed, which is much smaller, lighter and cheaper than ordinary 3D-printers. With this kind of printer, everyone could produce small, taylor-made 3D-objects at home, using building plans from the internet – and this could save money for expensive custom-built spare parts. It’s also…

Scientists from Oxford University have made a significant step towards an ultrafast quantum computer by successfully generating 10 billion bits of quantum entanglement in silicon for the first time — entanglement is the key ingredient that promises to make quantum computers far more powerful than conventional computing devices. via Ultrafast quantum computer closer: Ten billion…
