Although 4D printing is considered very promising for various biomedical applications – such as tissue scaffolds, neural scaffolds, grafts and stents, cardiac patches and valves, even bionic ...

Engineers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick report the creation of flexible, lightweight materials with 4D printing that could lead to small implantable biomedical devices, among other applications.

Shapeshifting materials produced at Rice University with a 3D printer morph from their original form to an alternate through changes in temperature, electric current or stress. This example shows how ...

Discover how the BMF microArch M150 enhances additive manufacturing with its advanced multi-material capabilities and optical ...

Specific nerves may be stimulated artificially, for example to treat pain. The finer the nerves, the more difficult it is to attach the required electrodes. Researchers at the Technical University of ...

If you’re a fan of the Big Bang Theory, you may remember how Howard and Raj spent three hours printing a 25 cent whistle in a 3D printer. More of a sci-fi fan? Then, you likely watched in Jurassic ...

Have you ever imaged high-resolution 3D structures at the micro/nanoscale that react dynamically to their surroundings? The 4D printing technology is changing the game by using smart materials that ...

The days when 3D printing was simply dreamed about are far behind us. Today, the process of creating a three-dimensional object via successive layers of materials is a mainstream activity—from ...

An Oregon State University researcher has helped create a new 3D printing approach for shape-changing materials that are ...

This is today's edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what's going on in the world of technology. Why OpenAI’s new model is such a big deal Last week OpenAI ...

Imagine smart materials that can morph from being stiff as wood to as soft as a sponge - and also change shape. Rutgers University-New Brunswick engineers have created flexible, lightweight materials ...
