Large iron gyroid (1.3 x 1.0 cm). Credit ALCHEMY EPFL CC BY SA Swiss researchers have pioneered a method of cultivating metal out of water-based gel, an innovation that promises valuable applications in energy technology. The concept aims to power the production of unique sensors, biomedical devices, or energy conversion and storage components. Scientists at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de …

Scientists Found a 3D Printing Method to Make Metal 20x Stronger  SciTechDaily Scientists grow metal instead of 3D printing it — and it’s 20x stronger  ScienceDaily New 3D printing method ‘grows’ metals and ceramics in gel  cosmosmagazine.com Hydrogel to be EPFL’s new 3D printing method  Inspenet New 3D Printing Technique Creates Dense, Complex Metal and Ceramic Structures  i-hls.com Source link

Researchers have developed a new 3D printing method that offers intricate constructions for next-generation energy, biomedical, and sensing technologies. Developed by researchers at EPFL, the new method helps grow metals and ceramics inside a water-based gel, resulting in exceptionally dense constructions. Researchers revealed that rather than using light to harden a resin pre-infused with metal precursors, as previous methods have …

Skateboards were organically developed in the 1940s and 1950s; 30 years would then pass before the ollie was developed, unlocking new realms for skaters dedicated to the artform. The advent of powerful batteries and motors would later make the electric skateboard a practical and (un?)fashionable method of transport in more recent years. Now, [Ivan Miranda] is pushing the cutting edge …

The modern era of virtual reality really kicked off in earnest just over a decade ago, when the Oculus Rift promised 3D worlds beyond your wildest dreams. Since then, nobody’s been able to come up with a killer app to convince even a mild fraction of consumers to engage with the technology. Still, if you’re keen to tinker, you might …

For the first time, a research team at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities demonstrated a groundbreaking process that combines 3D printing, stem cell biology, and lab-grown tissues for spinal cord injury recovery. The study was recently published in Advanced Healthcare Materials, a peer-reviewed scientific journal. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, more than 300,000 people in …
