Scientists at EPFL in Switzerland have found a way to grow dense metal structures inside a simple water-based gel, producing parts that can withstand 20 times more pressure than those made with ...

Inspired by the way diving bell spiders and fire ants use their water-repelling legs and bodies to trap air in order to float on water, researchers from the University of Rochester have found a way to ...

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 ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Ollie Barder covers Japanese pop-culture and gaming from Tokyo. Following the success of the Metal Structure Nu Gundam released ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have created a new laser-etched metal that was inspired by diving bell spiders and rafts of fire ants. The team has created a metallic structure that is so ...

Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving them unprecedented control of the metallic mixtures, or alloys, they create ...

Days after the discovery and swift disappearance of two shining metal monoliths half a world apart, another towering structure has popped up and then quickly vanished, this time from the pinnacle of a ...

Researchers have 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. It is a scalable solution ...

In a quiet corner of Switzerland, researchers have stopped treating metal like something to be melted and poured, and started treating it like something that can be grown. Instead of blasting powders ...
