FEATURED STORY
 
After about three years of experimentation, Khan’s team developed a process for 3D printing conductive silver ink onto a thermoplastic elastomer, a soft, stretchable material with properties similar to human skin. The material can stretch roughly 5% to 10%, allowing the coil to bend and move with the body.

They take minutes to make at a fraction of the cost.

 

 
A stacked die assembly with waterfall wirebonds produced at Promex. Packing multiple die vertically within a tight mechanical envelope requires every material and process variable — spacer thickness, die attach film bondline, wire bond arc height — to be engineered as a system, not selected independently.

Manufacturing isn't the final step—it's the secret to unlocking true sensor performance at scale.

 
Dr. Jessica Early holds a vial of the combination measles, mumps and rubella vaccine at Prisma Health Pediatrics in Greer, S.C., March 18, 2026.

Both were unvaccinated.

 

Pressured by constant disruption, workforce challenges, and increasing operational complexity, manufacturing frontlines must operate like a Formula 1 pit crew to win — moving with speed, precision, and consistency.

Small and medium-sized manufacturers encounter the same industry-wide pressures as large manufacturers: rising costs, labor shortages, and growing operational complexity. But conventional digital transformation programs are often out of reach for smaller manufacturers due to budget, time, and skills constraints.

A comparison of patient outcomes after robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy in Japan has found that robotic gastrectomy is associated with fewer complications, lower blood loss, lower risk of infections, and shorter hospital stay. Future advancements and better training for surgeons will produce better outcomes for patients with gastric cancer.

Five-year data proves robotic gastrectomy delivers safer, faster recovery with less bleeding and infection...
