This technical note presents the Reverse Method, a novel indirect approach for estimating the global value-added tax (VAT) compliance gap. The Reverse Method leverages public datasets and a calibrated ...

A Firestorm xCell micro 3D printing factory loading onto a C-130 to print Tempest UAV systems at a U.S. Air Force base. Inside a standard shipping container, a "factory-in-a-box" hums to life. It is ...

Researchers from the University of Chicago (UChicago) claim to have pushed the barriers of communication between quantum computers: enabling systems to potentially connect across thousands of miles ...

Necrobotics is a field of engineering that builds robots out of a mix of synthetic materials and animal body parts. It has produced micro-grippers with pneumatically operated legs taken from dead ...

As it does so, a 3D printer system prints a rigid back structure to the blanket array membrane. As it does so, the hard UV radiation of space rapidly cures the resin, making it hard. This means a ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production - a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants. Changhong Cao at McGill University ...

Apple has highlighted its use of 3D printing to make Apple Watch cases, to cut material use — and to enable a new, thin USB-C port for the iPhone Air. Most of the time, 3D printing is now associated ...

Have you ever found yourself sifting through endless rows of data, trying to confirm whether a specific item exists? It’s a tedious, error-prone process that can derail even the most organized ...

Last Tuesday, the Indiana University Media School fired IU Director of Student Media Jim Rodenbush after he refused to tell Indiana Daily Student staff to cut news from the Oct. 16 Homecoming guide ...

Construction robots are no longer a far-off idea. They're already changing job sites by tackling repetitive, heavy, and often dangerous tasks. The latest robot comes from Australia, where a ...

Vat photopolymerization is a 3D printing technique in which a light-sensitive resin is poured into a vat, and then selectively hardened into a desired shape using a laser or UV light. But this process ...
