Northeastern University-led center to build tiny things
A new effort to turn tiny objects into an economic 
development initiative with big impact has kicked off, centering on making commercial products with a new nanomanufacturing technique. “We look at it as a way to democratize manufacturing, it’s a new manufacturing paradigm shift,” said Ahmed Busnaina, a Northeastern University professor who will lead the […]
Northeastern lands $3m grant for ‘nanoscale’ manufacturing
The Baker administration has awarded a $3 million grant to a Northeastern University program that would focus on making tiny components for “smart” sensors and materials. 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 […]

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 […]
