In exploring the properties and potential of a theoretical material, scientists at Rice University have developed a real structure with some very real stopping power. The team’s 3D-printed cube of ...

Although stiff, lightweight materials are needed in many applications (aircraft and biomedical implants are just two examples), they are costly and time-consuming to make. A team of researchers at ETH ...

3D-printed polymer structures that mimicked the form of theoretical tubulanes could handle the impact of a bullet better than a solid block of the same material. Rice University researchers see ...

Researchers have developed a novel approach to three-dimensional (3D) printing they call “CLEAR,” which significantly improves the strength and durability of materials by using a combination of light ...

Researchers designed a novel polymer to bind and strengthen silica sand for binder jet additive manufacturing, a 3D-printing method used by industries for prototyping and part production. Researchers ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) -- Researchers in the labs of Christopher Bates, an assistant professor of materials at UC Santa Barbara, and Michael Chabinyc, a professor of materials and chair of the ...
