Researchers have created a metallic structure that is so hydrophobic, it refuses to sink - no matter how often it is forced into water or how much it is damaged or punctured. Possible applications ...

One of the most well-known and intricately detailed types of 3D-printing, “vat photopolymerization,” uses light to form structures from photo-sensitive resin. A new study has found a way to leverage ...

Close up of a water drop on a rose petal. Rose petals exhibit a property called superhydrophobicity, which is of interest to material scientists. Now, researchers at Iowa State University have managed ...

The researchers developed a light-based means of printing nano-sized metal structures that is 480 times faster and 35 times cheaper than the current conventional method. Catherine Barzler, Senior ...

Everyone wants to 3D print with metals, but it is a difficult task. You need high temperatures and metals with high thermal conductivity make the problem even worse. Researchers at Caltech have a way ...

Traditional semiconductors such as Si, GaAs, and HgCdTe seem unable to meet the development trend of electronic devices that feature ultra-small volume, lightweight, and low power consumption. These ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: One of the most well-known and intricately detailed types of 3D-printing, “vat photopolymerization,” uses light to form structures from ...
