Springs are great, but making them out of plastic tends to come with some downsides, for fairly obvious reasons. Creating a ...

Researchers from MIT, EPFL, and the University of Cincinnati have developed a 3D-printed soft magnetic hydrogel enabling microscopic robots to move and deform independently under magnetic control. The ...

Polymer rheology—the study of how polymers flow and deform—is key to achieving consistent quality in manufacturing and 3D printing. From injection molding to extrusion, understanding viscosity, ...

A newly introduced measure in the Illinois General Assembly aimed at expanding ballistic imaging technology is drawing ...

Engineers have developed a new soft magnetic hydrogel that can be 3D-printed into microscopic structures.

Recently, I had a chance to do both, as my best friend took me to visit The Bone Museum and The Gecko Gallery, which are ...

Imagine looking out the window of an airborne airplane and seeing the wing rippling and twisting. You'll probably have a mini ...

Under a microscope, a bouquet of lollipop-like structures, each smaller than a grain of sand, waves gently in a Petri dish of ...

As the global pollution crisis caused by manufacturing and disposing of single-use plastics continues to grow, researchers ...
