Researchers at Washington State University have developed a new 3D-manufacturing method that can create and control a material’s architecture from the nanoscale to centimeters.
Researchers have developed an ultra-thin 2D polymer sheet—the organic analog of graphene—that is unique because of its conductive capability and regular pores that are smaller than a nanometer.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have successfully 3D-printed aerospace-grade carbon fiber composites, which one researcher called the “ultimate material” for its combination of being both lightweight and strong as well as its wide potential for use
Inspired by structural color found in nature, researchers have developed a way to use photonic crystals to achieve color for 3D printing without the use of synthetic dyes and pigments.
The new composite is well-suited for developing artificial tendons and ligaments, soft robots, and other applications that demand material that’s flexible yet tough enough for long-term load bearing.
A sculpture that represents human laughter has become the first piece of art to be 3D-printed in space thanks to a collaboration between NASA, Made In Space, and the Israeli artist Eyal Gever.
