Citando:
"A 9 de Dezembro de 1968, o engenheiro informático norte-americano Douglas Engelbart dirigia um centro de investigação para o aumento da inteligência humana, subsidiário da Universidade de Stanford, e em hora e meia fez perante cerca de duas mil pessoas uma apresentação pública que viria a moldar a experiência humana com computadores e tecnologia nas décadas seguintes.

Durante essa hora e meia, Engelbart e membros da sua equipa, alguns no laboratório a vários quilómetros de distância, demonstraram pela primeira vez tecnologia que é hoje corriqueira, do rato ao hipertexto, passando pela videoconferência e processamento de texto."

Ultrassons a 100€?

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/09/180911110232.htm

Citando:
"Engineers have developed a new ultrasound transducer, or probe, that could dramatically lower the cost of ultrasound scanners to as little as $100. Their patent-pending innovation -- no bigger than a Band-Aid -- is portable, wearable and can be powered by a smartphone."

Impressora 3D de... Metal?

Citando:
"Unlike conventional metals, bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have a super-cooled liquid region in their thermodynamic profile and are able to undergo continuous softening upon heating—a phenomenon that is present in thermoplastics, but not conventional metals. Prof. Schroers and colleagues have thus shown that BMGs can be used in 3-D printing to generate solid, high-strength metalcomponents under ambient conditions of the kind used in thermoplastic 3-D printing.

The new work could side-step the obvious compromises in choosing thermoplastic components over metal components, or vice-versa, for a range of materials and engineering applications. Additive manufacturing of metal components has been developed previously, where a powder bed fusion process is used, however this exploits a highly-localized heating source, and then solidification of a powdered metal shaped into the desired structure. This approach is costly and complicated and requires unwieldy support structures that are not distorted by the high temperatures of the fabrication process."
