SAN ANTONIO — September 22, 2025 —Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) today celebrated the completion of the Center for Accelerating Materials and Processes (CAMP), a new facility that will support research and development for tomorrow’s high-speed aerospace engines.

A potentially life-saving device has been developed for new mothers in high-risk settings. This low-cost medical device to stop postpartum haemorrhages is the result of the BAMBI (Balloon Against Maternal BleedIng) project conducted by a multidisciplinary research team at the Politecnico di Milano. It is now ready for the final phase of testing, namely clinical trials on patients.

Origami device fabrication has huge potential in the fields of health, agriculture, and space technology. However, portability of the presently used fabrication devices is a concern and on-site production of three-dimensional (3D) devices remains a challenge. To address this, researchers have developed a portable, multimaterial printer using electrowetting on dielectric technology. This device allows rapid fabrication of 3D devices, eliminating the challenges of the existing technologies and improving the applicability of paper-based devices.
