The state’s investment, unveiled on Tuesday at Northeastern’s Kostas Research Institute in Burlington, would be matched by nearly $11 million in private funds from a combination of industry and […] Electronic Products P/F Sensors: their future and challenges While there are a number of printed/flexible (P/F) sensors available today, (see Electronic Products, “Printed/ Flexible Sensors Add New Options for Designers,” June 2015, pp. 26, 28), leading research universities and institutes worldwide are engaged in even more interesting, advanced developments. 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? by Tanner Stening August 29, 2025 Northeastern professor patents revolutionary nanomanufacturing process, slashing chip production costs by 99% by Cyrus Moulton February 25, 2025 Come give the men’s hockey team a send-off to the NCAA Tournament by Ian Thomsen March 26, 2019 Northeastern unveils second-generation nanoscale manufacturing system by Greg St. Martin December 14, 2017 Northeastern unveils state-of-the-art nanoscale printing system by Greg St. Martin September 18, 2014 3Qs: The 3-D printing of tomorrow by Angela Herring March 14, 2013 A nano approach to maintain manufacturing momentum by Angela Herring December 4, 2012 A small-scale solution with a large-scale impact by Angela Herring August 24, 2012 Chipping away at cancer by Angela Herring June 22, 2012 Nanotech projects make top 10 by News@Northeastern - Contributor February 22, 2011
