I was just reading one of my favorite sites, phys.org, about the difficulties of working with nanostructures. In the world of batteries, you want to maximize charge, while minimizing volume and weight. This means that the nano-world is starting to take hold, but, as has been discovered with many other applications where nanotechnology is being applied, it is very difficult to control the material properties in this world.

I am an avid reader of The Economist and always enjoy their coverage of technical and scientific subjects. In their issue from late April, they ran a special insert on Manufacturing and Innovation, which was a great read. One of their articles was a report on 3D printing and how this is actually becoming an integral part of manufacturing in that the actual printing is mass producing parts and components.

The release of COMSOL 4.3 is a big deal. My colleagues have been working very hard on this release, and lately water cooler conversations have been less about sporting events and more about what’s coming in version 4.3, and when it will be ready. Many are saying that this is “our best release yet”. Now it’s finally time to unveil what the fuss around version 4.3 is all about — and we bring it to you first via the COMSOL Blog.
