3D-printing has come a long way from dinky plastic models. In recent years, engineers have started experimenting with ...

Anticipating a boom in nuclear energy, the US Department of Energy’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) at Oak Ridge ...

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii —A propeller blade that would take 18 months to replace. Parts for an expandable office that would cost hundreds of dollars to buy. A howitzer bracket that is unavailable at ...

This effect was noted even when a number of different polymers were used in the composite – in one case, when a protein-based polymer was used, items could be printed 100 times faster than had ...

From touch-sensitive smartphone screens to fitness wearables and wireless earbuds, electronics are becoming ever more integrated into our daily lives—and smaller, lighter, and more flexible in the ...

The 3D-printed forms for the Janus shielding demonstration are precursors to those that Kairos Power and Barnard will employ ...

About the Study In this study, the authors thoroughly investigated the performance of several 3D-printed polymers under monotonic torsion. FDM was utilized to 3D print materials from fifteen different ...

In a breakthrough for regenerative medicine, a new study from IMDEA Materials Institute researchers has demonstrated the ...

As a demonstration, Jung and colleagues printed 3D objects like pyramids and Eiffel towers by stacking hundreds of layers of red, blue, or green emitting quantum dot-polymer ink. Precise control over ...

A team of scientists led by Caltech has taken a significant step toward that ultimate goal, having developed a method for 3D-printing polymers at specific locations deep within living animals.

Other methods to increase the strength of the polymers also typically result in compromising their ductility. The team led by Professor Lu found a “magic-like” condition in the pyrolysis of the ...
