This new process utilizes computational models to control the way that the two materials, a stiff and a soft material, are printed into a composite architecture in a way that builds in a certain level of compressive strain.
Despite what you might have heard, NASA is harder at work than ever. We take a look at seven technologies NASA is developing to take humans to Mars and beyond.
Researchers have made a breakthrough in the fabrication of memory devices using inkjet additive manufacturing that paves the way for mass production of printable electronics.
One company sees 3D print technology evolving into a product lineup of affordable and scalable printers, with the “blade server” concept for volume manufacturing where printers on a rack will scale up or down to meet customers’ needs.
A new use of silver at the nanoscale could be the key to developing stretchable electronics such as smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
Researchers have found a way to harness the power of nanomachines to work on a human scale, paving ways for potential breakthroughs in smart materials and devices.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota College of Food, Agricultural, and Natural Sciences have developed a so-called “super sponge” that can clean up toxic mercury from large bodies of water such as lakes and rivers.
