This is not the first time that electrospinning systems have been used outside of the medicinal field, although it’s probably one of the most…

There’s only one thing people still remember from Apple’s iPhone X launch event last summer, and it’s not the bezel-free screen, the portrait lighting feature, or the wireless charging. It’s the facial recognition function—or, rather, malfunction. Apple faced ridicule after the iPhone failed repeatedly to recognise software engineer Craig Federighi in a live demo.
