Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

Printed organic and inorganic electronics continue to be of large interest for sensors, bioelectronics, and security applications. Many printing techniques have been investigated, albeit often with ...

The three-dimensional printing of thermoset materials is of use in the development of flexible electronics and soft robotics. However, the process typically involves the deposition and removal of ...

A research team led by Prof. Mitch LI Guijun, Assistant Professor from the Division of Integrative Systems and Design at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), has developed an ...

Microalgae such as the diatom Odontella aurita and the green alga Tetraselmis striata are especially suitable as 'biofactories' for the production of sustainable materials for 3D laser printing due to ...

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) researchers have designed a groundbreaking single-step printing technique to accelerate the manufacturing of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. Led ...

Scientists led by staff from Germany’s Fraunhofer ISE have demonstrated a new laser printing process in pilot production, which could replace silver paste and screen printing in solar cell ...

When we think about 3D printing, our mind often jumps to hot nozzles squirting out molten plastic. Other popular techniques include flashing bright light into resin, or using lasers to fuse together ...

[Shih Wei Chieh] has built a laser cyanotype printer for fabrics. You know, for art! How do you get an inkjet head on a shoe or a couch? Most printing processes require a flat surface to print. But ...

To date, petrochemical-based polymers have been mainly used as inks for this highly precise 3D laser printing process. However, these polymers contribute to the depletion of fossil fuels and the ...
