Researchers have developed a way to include an unobtrusive edible tag embedded inside food—in their original experiments, cookies—that can be read without having to first destroy the food or impact ...

You look below the model for the button “ Include ” to get your choice of embedding and the code snippet you copy/paste to your web site/blog (more instructions in link above).

Would you like a QR code embedded in that cookie? Researchers from Osaka University develop 'interiqr', a novel three-dimensional (3D) printing method of embedding edible QR codes--a type of ...

[Christopher Helmke] is doing fantastic work in DIY systems for handling small hardware like fasteners, and that includes robotic placement of hardware into 3D prints. Usually this means dropping n… ...
