In the world of structural engineering, smaller is stronger. As materials shrink, they often get stronger. But when we push metal components down to the nanoscale, the traditional rules of physics ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

Kamal Khayat, seen here with a 3D printer in Missouri S&T University’s Advanced Materials Characterization Laboratory, leads a team that won a $1.4-million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...

Researchers have developed a new two-photon polymerization technique that uses two lasers to 3D print complex high-resolution structures. The advance could make this 3D printing process less expensive ...

You can make some big 3D printed projects in your own home, but projects this massive are going to require a specialized ...

Rice University researchers have discovered a way to employ 3D printing to create sustainable wood structures, providing a more environmentally friendly option to conventional manufacturing processes.

I admit: if I see a beehive, I back away—fresh honey be damned. But part of me is also fascinated. Beehives are a remarkable feat of engineering. Made of materials from tree buds to chewed-up wax, ...

What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembled ...

A new two-photon polymerization technique combines a relatively low-cost laser emitting nanosecond pulses with a femtosecond laser at reduced power to enable 3D printing of complex high-resolution ...
