In Parts 1-5 of this MRI story, it describes how the discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) evolved into being a diagnostic tool for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of biological samples and eventually mice. The 2003 winners of the Nobel prize was based on this work. But who was the Read more…
The first 3D printing technique was reported by the Japanese inventor, Dr Hideo Kodama, which is a process that utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light to cure photo-sensitive liquid and which then becomes a solid 3D object. Charles Hull, founder of 3D Systems, later patented this technique in 1986, calling it Stereolithography Read more…
