So much happened in the earliest moments of the universe. Elementary particles appeared, the first nuclei of hydrogen and ...

Micrometre-sized particles are key elements of several technologies ranging from drug-delivery vehicles to microelectronics, which makes optimizing the fabrication of these particles big business. One ...

Engineers at Cornell University have developed a new technique for 3D printing metallic objects – and it involves blasting titanium particles at supersonic speeds. The resulting metals are very porous ...

Scientists have created “acoustic holograms” that can assemble matter into 3D objects, using just sound. The technique works with various types of particles and even living cells, allowing for a new ...

Researchers have discovered that the junctures at the facet edges of 3D semiconductor particles have 2D properties, which can be leveraged for photoelectrochemical processes -- in which light is used ...

Stanford's latest breakthrough in 3D printing technology enables the production of one million dust-sized particles per day. While 3D printing has gained widespread adoption on a macroscale level, ...

The particles emitted from 3D printers can negatively impact indoor air quality and have the potential to harm respiratory health, according to a new study. Consumer-grade 3D printers have grown in ...
