When water droplets or flows pass over the spine, its gradient cellular structure instantaneously generates measurable voltage signals—a response over a thousand times faster than the organism's ...

High-speed 3D printing has just gotten a lot faster. Researchers from Tsinghua University in China have developed a new high-speed printing technology capable of creating complex millimeter-scale ...

Kamal Khayat, seen here with a 3D printer in Missouri S&T University’s Advanced Materials Characterization Laboratory, leads a team that won a $1.4-million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...

What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembled ...

Australian researchers have recently developed the world’s first underwater 3D concrete printing system which ...

Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. Using a special laser 3D ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon polymerization technique that uses two lasers to 3D print complex high-resolution structures. The advance could make this 3D printing process less expensive ...

Rice University researchers have discovered a way to employ 3D printing to create sustainable wood structures, providing a more environmentally friendly option to conventional manufacturing processes.

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...
