Using molds to shape things is as old as humanity. In the Bronze Age, the copper-tin alloy was melted and cast into weapons in ceramic molds. Today, injection and extrusion molding shape hot liquids ...

Wearable electronics could be more wearable, according to a research team at Penn State. The researchers have developed a ...

Forward-looking: Researchers from California and South Korea have discovered a way to use a water-soluble polymer as a new, recyclable material for 3D printing. This polymer can also be combined with ...

Lyotropic liquid crystals (LLCs) are formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules in a solvent, resulting in well‐defined mesophases whose nanostructured order is amenable to precise ...

Using five ingredients — silicon, boron, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen — an engineer has created a liquid polymer that can transform into a ceramic with valuable thermal, optical and electronic ...

Sportswear producer Reebok unveiled its new ‘Liquid Factory’ technology last week which makes use of additive manufacturing to create shoes. Liquid Factory uses an approach called 3D Drawing in order ...
