Printegrated Circuits: Merging 3D Printing and Electronics

news.ycombinator.com Alfred Poor 2026-02-22 00:30:23

Just as the laser printer delivered the benefits of a printing press to personal computer users more than 40 years ago, 3D printers have made it possible for individuals to turn digital designs into physical objects. Some printers cost less than US $1,000, and they can be used to create one-off objects or low-volume production of items. 3D printed objects have one major limitation; it’s not easy to make them “smart.” Adding digital processors and other components remains a challenge, as does ad

Does Form Shape Function?

What links a Möbius strip, brain folds and termite mounds? The answer is Harvard University’s L.

Mahadevan, or Maha to his friends and colleagues, has long been fascinated by questions one wouldn’t normally ask — from the equilibrium shape of inert objects like a Möbius strip, to the complex factors that drive biological systems like morphogenesis or social insect colo

Biologists Uncover Previously Unknown Structure Hiding Inside Human Cells

Even after decades of peering into cells, biologists are still finding surprises. In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed the hemifusome. This tiny membrane-bound structure serves as a cellular recycling center and may hold the key to treating several genetic diseases.

Kuo: Apple to release cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone processor

Apple’s current entry-level laptop is the $999 MacBook Air, but analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple is aiming to launch an even more affordable model soon. He writes on X that Apple will go into production in late 2025 or early 2026 on a new MacBook model that will be powered by the A18 Pro chip, rather than an M-series processor.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

news.ycombinator.com Adam Langley 2026-02-22 20:09:30

Continuous glucose monitoring has been a thing for a while. It's a probe that sits just inside your body and measures blood glucose levels frequently. Obviously this is most useful for type 1 diabetics, who need to regulate their blood glucose manually. (At this point, I would be amiss not to give a nod to the book Systems Medicine, which I think most readers would find fascinating.

The Unsustainability of Moore's Law

news.ycombinator.com Charles Rosenbauer 2026-02-22 15:07:03

Roughly every two years, the density of transistors that can be fit onto a silicon chip doubles. This is Moore’s Law. Roughly every five years, the cost to build a factory for making such chips doubles, and the number of companies that can do it halves. 25 years ago, there were about 40 such companies and the cost to build a fab was about $2-4 billion. Today, there are either two or three such companies left (depending on your optimism toward Intel) and the cost to build a fab is in excess of $1

Paramount May Not Be Done With ‘Transformers’ Movies Yet

After 2024’s Transformers One came and went, it’s been a question of whether we’d actually see the Autobots and Decepticons on the big screen. The answer now appears to be “yes,” and not just because Paramount’s still pretending that crossover with G.I. Joe is happening. According to Matt Belloni at Puck News, the studio is spinning up several Transformers movies. One is said to be helmed by One director Josh Cooley, and will be live-action.
