If you think at all about liquid crystals, you probably think of display technology. However, researchers have worked out a way to use an ink-jet-like process to 3D print iridescent colors using a ...

D printing is extremely practical when you want to produce small quantities of customized components. However, this technology has always had one major problem: 3D printers can only process a single ...

A team of UK scientists has shown how atomic-scale strengthening mechanisms observed in metals and alloys can be exploited to make 3D printed structures more robust. Mimicking the microcrystalline ...

Andrew Iams, a materials research engineer at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a ...

Holographic 3D display completely avoids the side effects of the traditional 3D display, such as the dizziness and fatigue of viewers. Therefore, it has become the frontier and hotspot of the current ...
