Hokkaido University researchers have developed a strategy to fabricate materials that become stronger in response to mechanical stress - mimicking skeletal muscle growth. This discovery could pave the way for long-lasting materials that can…

Piezoelectric materials inhabit everything from our cell phones to musical greeting cards. Now, researchers from Virginia Tech's College of Engineering have developed methods to 3D print these materials, and as a result can be…

Rather than building up plastic filaments layer by layer, a new approach to 3D printing lifts complex shapes from a vat of liquid at up to 100 times faster than conventional 3D printing processes. While 3D printing could change the game…
