Electronics 360
Previous efforts by MIT researchers to manufacture nanofibers relied on deep reactive-ion etching technology in a complex process that an air-locked clean room. The same team recently assembled a new device that produces nanofibers using a $3,500 commercial 3-D printer. The process is more economical and reliable, and reduces variation in the fibers' diameters, an important consideration in most applications.

Innovation in Textiles
Many areas of everyday and professional life require antimicrobial protection. Such an effect on textile surfaces is currently achieved by utilisation of silver or ammonium containing compounds. However, the use of such compounds is questionable with respect to possible adverse ecological and toxicological effects. In addition, these compounds are generally expensive, the Hohenstein Group reports.
