Even after being stretched, twisted, and bent at extreme angles, the structures sprang back to their original forms within seconds of being heated to a certain temperature “sweet spot.”
Professor YongKeun Park of the Physics Department at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and his research team have developed a powerful method for 3D imaging of live cells without staining.
Researchers have developed a new way of growing realistic human tissues outside the body.
University of Washington scientists have successfully combined two different ultrathin semiconductors — each just one layer of atoms thick and roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair — to make a new two-dimensional heterostructure with potential uses in clean energy and optically-active electronics.
Scientists have developed an innovative 3D bioprinter capable of generating replacement tissue that's strong enough to withstand transplantation. To show its power, the scientists printed a jaw bone, muscle, and cartilage structures, as well as a stunningly accurate human ear.
Nanotechnology, the ability to manipulate structures on an atomic level, has the potential to revolutionize our world.
In an effort to eliminate the cooling required for superconductivity, scientists have created a superconductor with a porous, 3D gyroidal structure.
This delicate, glowing flower could one day save your life. It’s the latest example of “4D printing” – 3D printed objects that change their shape over time – and it can move in a way that mimics natural processes. Similar materials could find a use in creating replacement organs in our bodies.
Scientists have woven the first 3-D covalent organic frameworks (COFs) from helical organic threads. The woven COFs display significant advantages in structural flexibility, resiliency and reversibility over previous COFs.
In the future, these structures may be used to develop compact optical devices, as well as to create an 'invisibility cloak.'
Planetary Resources and 3D Systems today showcased a model of part of a spacecraft from meteorite metals found in Argentina. The model was today showcased at CES in Las Vegas.
Scientists say 3D-printed structures loaded with embryonic stem cells could one day help doctors print out micro-organs for transplant patients.
A team at Manchester Royal Infirmary hospital, England, claim to be the first surgeons to use 3D cameras and monitors -- and embarrassingly clunky spectacles -- during an operation. Furthermore, if that wasn
