One of the most well-known and intricately detailed types of 3D-printing, “vat photopolymerization,” uses light to form structures from photo-sensitive resin. A new study has found a way to leverage ...

Researchers have created a metallic structure that is so hydrophobic, it refuses to sink - no matter how often it is forced into water or how much it is damaged or punctured. Possible applications ...

Scientists have developed a universal method for producing a wide variety of designed metallic and semiconductor 3D nanostructures -- the potential base materials for next-generation semiconductor ...

Everyone wants to 3D print with metals, but it is a difficult task. You need high temperatures and metals with high thermal conductivity make the problem even worse. Researchers at Caltech have a way ...

Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving them unprecedented control of the metallic mixtures, or alloys, they create ...

The researchers developed a light-based means of printing nano-sized metal structures that is 480 times faster and 35 times cheaper than the current conventional method. Catherine Barzler, Senior ...

As aerospace continues its pursuit of higher performance, lower weight, and improved lifecycle efficiency, metal-to composite component conversion is a key enabler of innovation. Whether in commercial ...

Close up of a water drop on a rose petal. Rose petals exhibit a property called superhydrophobicity, which is of interest to material scientists. Now, researchers at Iowa State University have managed ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: One of the most well-known and intricately detailed types of 3D-printing, “vat photopolymerization,” uses light to form structures from ...

Researchers at Texas A&M University have achieved a breakthrough by developing the world’s first metallic gel – a material made of metals with properties of a gel. Unlike everyday gels found in ...
