Researchers have been trying to find new ways to produce and replicate the various useful features observed in nature. Fine hairs and fibers, which are ubiquitous in nature, are useful for various ...

Publishing in the journal International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, the team led by researchers based at the State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems deposited different ...

The 3D-printed fibers are just 1.5 microns thick, which is up to 100 times thinner than paper. Reading time: Reading time 2 minutes Professionals of all kinds—from artists to architects to ...

A new 3D-printing technique using silicone can make accurate models of the blood vessels in your brain, enabling neurosurgeons to train with more realistic simulations before they operate, according ...

This novel printing method can achieve horizontal connection between fine threads under a wide range of printing parameters.” Through the above experimental methods, the effects of printing parameters ...

Researchers at MIT and Harvard have incorporated living microbes into 3D-printed objects to make them more dynamic. The underlying resin material is embedded with chemical “instructions” that tell a ...
