Close up of a water drop on a rose petal. Rose petals exhibit a property called superhydrophobicity, which is of interest to material scientists. Now, researchers at Iowa State University have managed ...

98.5% of the Sun is made up of two light chemical elements, hydrogen and helium, while the remaining 1.5% consists of other heavier elements such as carbon, oxygen, and iron. The abundance of these ...

One of the most well-known and intricately detailed types of 3D-printing, “vat photopolymerization,” uses light to form structures from photo-sensitive resin. A new study has found a way to leverage ...

Imagine if there were a metallic device that could be transported all squished down into a compact ball, but that would automatically "bloom" out into its useful form when heated. Well, that may soon ...

Days after the discovery and swift disappearance of two shining metal monoliths half a world apart, another towering structure has popped up and then quickly vanished, this time from the pinnacle of a ...

Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving them unprecedented control of the metallic mixtures, or alloys, they create ...

Researchers have developed a light-based means of printing nano-sized metal structures that is 480 times faster and 35 times cheaper than the current conventional method. It is a scalable solution ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: One of the most well-known and intricately detailed types of 3D-printing, “vat photopolymerization,” uses light to form structures from ...
