By Bill Hammack, Patrick Ryan, Nick Ziech
Make magazine's weblog referred to as the EngineerGuy video staff “brilliant technology and expertise documentarian[s]”, whose “videos could be held up as versions of the way to offer advanced technical details visually.” stressed out referred to as the video clips “dazzling.” The staff, which include invoice Hammack, Patrick Ryan & Nick Ziech, created the lovely sequence that comes with masterful causes of the engineering underlying liquid crystal display screens, fiber optic communications, and difficult disc drives. Ryan and Ziech earned B.S. levels in Chemical Engineering on the college of Illinois; Hammack, who's presently a Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at Illinois, earned a M.S. and Ph.D in Chemical Engineering at Illinois. Hammack’s paintings has been famous by way of a very wide variety of clinical, engineering, and journalistic specialist societies. From reporters he has gained the trifecta of the pinnacle technological know-how and engineering journalism awards: The nationwide organization of technology Writer's technology in Society Award; the yankee Chemical Society's Grady-Stack Medal, and the yankee Institute of Physics' technology Writing Award. From his engineering friends he's been well-known with the ASME's Church Medal, IEEE's extraordinary Literary Contributions Award, ASEE's President's Medal, and the AIChE's provider to Society Award.

Fabricated: The New World of 3D Printing
Fabricated tells the tale of 3D printers, humble production machines which are bursting out of the manufacturing unit and into colleges, kitchens, hospitals, even onto the style catwalk. Fabricated describes our rising international of printable items, the place humans layout and 3D print their very own creations as simply as they edit an internet rfile.

In Fig. 6, the H/E values exhibited a similar tendency with hardness. 087. From the results of hardness and H/E, it can be suggested that the Ti–Si–B–C–N coating with Si target power up to 150W could provide a better wear-resistance with higher fracture toughness than that of Ti–Si–B–C–N coating with Si target power above 200W. Materials Science Foundations Vols. 7 Wear rate [x10 mm /(Nm)] Fig. 7(a) shows the friction coefficients of the Ti–Si–B–C–N coating against a WC-Co ball as a function of Si target power.
