3D Printing is a relatively new technology which has gained a lot of attention lately. More and more application using this new tech-development have been already successfully implemented in various industries. Now it is going to be used on building roads too. A new research has been quite recently done by a group of scientists... Continue Reading →

I love to talk about Copper. I must say that before to become materials science engineer I was very much in touch with electronics and initialy I wanted to become electronics engineer but it was Copper the metal that fascinated me since the beginning when I created my first PCBs for my electronic circuits. So... Continue Reading →
