3D Printed Hyperelastic Bone Now Commercially Available for Research
About a year and a half ago, scientists at Northwestern University made a major breakthrough. They developed a form of 3D printed hyperelastic bone that not only encourages...
A future colorfully lit by mystifying physics of paint-on semiconductors
Some novel materials that sound too good to be true turn out to be true and good. An emergent class of semiconductors, which could...
Neutrons help demystify multiferroic materials
Materials used in electronic devices are typically chosen because they possess either special magnetic or special electrical properties. However, an international team of researchers...
Polymers Reduce Drag More than Expected
Adding polymer to a liquid was thought to reduce drag only up to a point, but new experiments have found exceptions to the usual...
Physicists discover new quantum electronic material
With an atomic structure resembling a Japanese basketweaving pattern, “kagome metal” exhibits exotic, quantum behavior.
A motif of Japanese basketweaving known as the kagome pattern...
Rubbery carbon aerogels greatly expand applications
Researchers have designed carbon aerogels that can be reversibly stretched to more than three times their original length, displaying elasticity similar to that of...
Guide to Selecting and Buying 3D Printing Filament in 2018
Filament is essentially the 'ink' for a 3D printer. At rigid.ink, we focus on the spools of plastic filament rather than resin. The plastic...
Nanodiamonds Boost 3D Printed Polymer Performance
Carbodeon and Tiamet 3D to launch first nanodiamond-enhanced filaments for 3D printing
Helsinki, Finland/Rotterdam, The Netherlands - March 2018:
Finnish nanodiamond manufacturer Carbodeon and Dutch 3D...
3D Printed Electric Car is Ready for Mass Production
The cars we drive are changing, in their capabilities, in how they’re made, and how they look. Autonomous vehicles are beginning to appear on the roads,...
3D Jet Writing Creates Highly Porous Polymer Microtissue for Drug Screening
Conn Hastings Genetics, Materials, Medicine, Oncology Researchers at Purdue University and the University of Michigan have developed a device they call a 3D jet...
