In spring 2018, the surprising discovery of superconductivity in a new material set the scientific community abuzz. Built by layering one carbon sheet atop...

Last year at Formnext I spotted a young team standing around a 3D printer. This team was Kumovis. Kumovis launched a medical high-temperature FDM...

A new approach to controlling magnetism in a microchip could open the doors to memory, computing, and sensing devices that consume drastically less power...

From water bottles and food containers to toys and tubing, many modern materials are made of plastics. And while we produce about 110 million...

“Omniphobic” might sound like a way to describe someone who is afraid of everything, but it actually refers to a special type of surface...

TSUKUBA, IBARAKI PREF. - Mitsuhiro Ebara believes plastic sheets called “smart polymers” may one day prove to be a cheap solution to curing cancer. Cancer...

In superconducting materials, electrons pair up and condense into a quantum state that carries electrical current with no loss. This usually happens at very...

W. Amsler Equipment Inc., a leading supplier of all-electric linear PET stretch blow molders, has announced the first commercial sale of 64-oz polyethylene terephthalate...

MIT researchers have demonstrated that a tungsten ditelluride-based transistor combines two different electronic states of matter. A transistor based on the 2-D material tungsten ditelluride...

The technology will revolutionize manufacturing, but how? United Technologies, GE and Honeywell are taking different approaches. Like the cotton gin and the modern assembly line,...
