In a multi-year project, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed plasmonic plastic – a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be ...

3D printing is a downright futuristic technology. People can use plastic filaments, resin, and other materials to create custom objects. The quality of the print is limited by a user's printer, but ...

Museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions have embraced 3D printing as a tool for display, storage, preservation and conservation, and more. However, there is not much known about the safety ...

Over the past decade 3D printing has advanced from simple plastic objects to creating intricate designs with multiple materials to bioprinting living tissues, the possibilities are expanding rapidly, ...

A team at Disney Research has developed a new type of 3D printer that can build three-dimensional objects such as teddy bears out of soft fibres such as wool. The machine looks like a cross between a ...

NASA takes a giant leap toward more flexible long-term missions with the successful test of a 3D printer on the ISS. Future astronauts may be able to simply print replacement parts on-demand. Share on ...

TL;DR: A small group of forensic researchers is challenging the belief that 3D-printed ghost guns – unserialized firearms built at home – are completely untraceable. Their work offers a glimmer of ...

Researchers have developed plasmonic plastic -- a type of composite material with unique optical properties that can be 3D-printed. This research has now resulted in 3D-printed optical hydrogen ...

Interest in plasmonic metal nanoparticles and their many different applications has grown rapidly, developing across a broad spectrum over the past two decades. What makes these particles so special ...
