Scientists find a way to “program” metal behavior during 3D printing

Russian researchers have discovered that laser 3D-printing parameters can directly influence the properties of a nickel—titanium shape memory alloy. The scientists demonstrated that by adjusting laser power and scanning speed, it is possible to “program” the material’s behavior in advance, including the temperature at which it recovers its shape and the degree of its elasticity. The findings open new opportunities for the development of advanced medical implants, miniature actuators, and components for 4D printing.

Scientists at NUST MISIS Taught Magnetic Nanoparticles to Remove Dyes from Water

Researchers at NUST MISIS have synthesized mesoporous cobalt ferrite nanoparticles capable of absorbing different organic dyes depending on the size of their pores. The development opens up new possibilities for treating industrial wastewater without the need for additional chemical modification of the sorbent. One of the material’s key advantages is that it retains its effectiveness even after repeated cycles of use.

Scientists propose a method for early diagnosis of retinal diseases based on “glow” in cells

Russian researchers have found that changes in the “glow” of pigment in retinal cells can be used to detect damage at very early stages, long before serious vision impairment occurs. The scientists also showed how antioxidants slow these processes by reducing the levels of toxic products of photodamage.
