Additive manufacturing (AM) methods, such as 3D printing, enable the realization of objects with different geometric ...

Scientists based at Hiroshima University have devised a novel way of 3D printing with one of hardest engineering materials ...

Hard materials keep modern life moving, from drill bits to cutting tools. One of the toughest is tungsten carbide with cobalt ...

Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The ...

Study reveals 3D-printed resins deliver biologically ideal ‘Light & Continuous’ forces, overcoming the limitations ...

A new kind of 3D-printable material that can stretch, flex and still stay friendly to living cells could change how medical implants, artificial organs and even batteries are built. Developed by ...

In recent years, 3D printing has advanced rapidly. However, the technology has been trapped ...

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

To demonstrate the potential of this new approach, the team fabricated a series of mixed-material microdevices, including valves capable of separating nanoparticles of different sizes, and ...

Heating and cooling systems are some of the biggest energy guzzlers in use, so passive temperature control could be a good way to reduce emissions. Phase-change materials (PCMs) show promise for this, ...

Museums are experiencing an increased presence of 3D printed objects in collections and higher instances of use in preservation activities, amplifying the critical need for preservation guidelines and ...
