Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon polymerization technique that uses two lasers to 3D print complex high-resolution structures. The advance could make this 3D printing process less expensive ...

Complex fluids, such as polymer melts and concentrated suspensions, are foundational materials for industrial products, ...

An international research team is attracting the attention of experts in the field with computational results on the behavior of ring polymers under shear forces: Reyhaneh Farimani, University of ...

A recent article published in Small Science introduces fully bioderived, four-dimensional (4D) printable shape memory polymers (SMPs) with linear tunability and remotely controlled actuation ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Implantable bioelectronic devices have immense potential for monitoring and treating a wide range of medical conditions by interfacing directly with biological tissues and organs.

Bundles of stainless steel fiber are used to reinforce layers of 3D printed plastic parts to create a robust, electrically conductive composite material. Metal 3D printed composite parts are produced ...

A new two-photon polymerization technique combines a relatively low-cost laser emitting nanosecond pulses with a femtosecond laser at reduced power to enable 3D printing of complex high-resolution ...
