A team of international researchers has used a new 3D-printing technique to create microfibers just 1.5 microns thick. As ...

Researchers demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The low-cost device can be fabricated more quickly than traditional thrusters, potentially from on board a ...

Those tiny colorful dinosaur toys that grow bigger underwater might hold the key to protecting astronauts as they journey through space.

Researchers have been trying to find new ways to produce and replicate the various useful features observed in nature. Fine hairs and fibers, which are ubiquitous in nature, are useful for various ...

This even distribution of hydrogen is thought to be key to developing scalable radiation shields for both spacecraft and the ...

A team at the Purdue Applied Research Institute recently developed a process of 3D printing with a new material, dark ...

That's why, if you're big into the creative side of things, you should save up to get yourself a 3D printer. Whether you're looking to use it for cosplay by making your own outfits or creating ...

It lets you make 3D prints that slowly fade from one color to another along the Z-axis. [David Gozzard] wanted to do some printing with this effect, and learned how to make his own filament to do ...

The same material from which you drink your morning coffee could transform the way scientists detect disease, purify water, and insulate space shuttles thanks to an entirely new approach to ceramic ...

PARI advances hypersonics with 3D printed dark ceramics, which are less likely to crack or degrade due to extreme atmospheric ...

An electrospray engine applies an electric field to a conductive liquid – generating a high-speed jet of tiny droplets that can propel a spacecraft. These miniature engines are ideal for small ...
