3D printing, an additive manufacturing (AM) technique, has the potential to revolutionize how we produce objects that we want and need in the modern world. Among other developments, innovations in ...

In exploring the properties and potential of a theoretical material, scientists at Rice University have developed a real structure with some very real stopping power. The team’s 3D-printed cube of ...

The method of fabricating structures and devices at the nanoscale, known as nanofabrication, has resulted in major developments in several fields, such as electronics, medicine, and materials science.

Additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D-printing (3DP) approaches have recently been considered as promising means to enable prolonged off-world activities through utilization of native planetary regoliths ...

Composites of continuous carbon fibers and thermoset polymers can now be made using a new 3D printing technology. Such composites are strong and lightweight and may find applications in many ...

A new type of "ink" makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based process. Researchers from the universities of Heidelberg and Stuttgart have ...

Previous attempts to utilize perovskite quantum dots have largely relied on 2D patterning techniques on flat surfaces, limiting device geometry and performance. Some researchers have explored 3D ...

3D printing is going to be a critical technology in space exploration, both for its ability to create almost any object, but also because it can utilize in-situ resources, at least in part. However, ...

Researchers have developed the first 3D-printable 'bottlebrush' elastomer. The new material results in printed objects that have unusual softness and elasticity -- mechanical properties that closely ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) -- Researchers in the labs of Christopher Bates, an assistant professor of materials at UC Santa Barbara, and Michael Chabinyc, a professor of materials and chair of the ...
