When the Twin Towers fell on 9/11, robots were sent to comb through the rubble and find and sustain the people trapped below, but they failed. Later, the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Emergency Response Robotics team was funded to establish standard tests for ground, underwater and aerial robots that are used for […]
Regenerative medicine uses 3D-printed materials to create and restore tissues and organs, but these materials can have microscopic manufacturing flaws that jeopardize the safety and reliability of these products. Callie Higgins, materials research engineer at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), developed a technique to correct these flaws, which she said involves using […]
