Nanostructured metamaterials have shown a lot of promise in what they can do in the lab, but often have fatal stress concentration factors that limit their applications. Researchers have now …read more Continue reading AI Helps Researchers Discover New Structural Materials
Just when you think you’ve learned all the latest 3D printing tricks, [TenTech] shows up with an update to their Fuzzyficator post-processing script. This time, the GPL v3 licensed program …read more Continue reading Software Lets You Paint Surface Patterns on 3D Prints
Under the right circumstances, electrons can actually “freeze” into a bizarre solid form. Now, physicists at Berkeley Lab have created and taken the first ever direct images of this structure.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Electron Mic… Continue reading First images of electrons forming strange solid crystals
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have invented a material in powder form that adsorbs carbon dioxide with astonishing performance. Just 200 g (a little under 0.5 lb) can suck up 44 lb (20 kg) of CO2, the same as a tree does in a ye… Continue reading Miracle powder sucks CO2 out of the air ‘like nothing else out there’
Researchers at MIT have unexpectedly stumbled upon a way to 3D print active electronics – meaning transistors and components for controlling electrical signals – without the use of semiconductors or even special fabrication technology.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading New tech enables 3D printing electronics without semiconductors
A new type of carbon-neutral concrete has been commercially used for the first time, in a high-profile skyscraper being built in Manhattan. The binder utilized in the concrete is made of granite instead of traditional greenhouse-gas-emitting limestone … Continue reading Carbon-neutral granite-based concrete finds use in towering NYC skyscraper
While clay is widely used to build basic structures such as huts, we typically don’t see it being utilized in large-scale construction projects. That could soon change, however, thanks to a recently developed process known as impact printing.Continue R… Continue reading Homes could soon be quickly built by clay-shooting “impact printers”
Scientists have demonstrated a new potential treatment for bone cancer. A bioactive glass laced with a toxic metal was able to kill up to 99% of the cancer without harming healthy cells, and could even help regrow healthy bone after.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Toxic glass kills 99% of bone cancer without harming healthy cells
Although wind turbines generate electricity via an eco-friendly process, the giant blades of those turbines typically end up in landfills once they wear out. That could change, however, thanks to a new bio-based resin that would allow old blades to be … Continue reading Fast-dissolving bio resin could drive recycling of wind turbine blades
