Multilayered artificial skin could improve testing of skincare products and lead to better ways to heal damaged skin.
Researchers have taken steps toward finding solvents that could be used to extract building materials from rock dust on the moon and Mars.
A new "lab on a chip" that can be 3D-printed in just 30 minutes could make on-the-spot medical testing widely accessible.
Researchers have, for the first time, printed a robotic hand with bones, ligaments, and tendons made of different polymers.
A new metallic gel can print 3D solid objects that change shape at the right temperature; a phenomenon called "4D printing."
A 3D-printed insole with integrated sensors will allow real-time measurement of the pressure of the sole of the foot right in a shoe.
Techniques from metal additive manufacturing offer a new way to help combat counterfeit goods, such as national defense assets.
"Instead of 3D printing ink or plastic, we use 'bioink,' or living plant cells," Lisa Van den Broeck explains.
Simulated Mars dust and titanium alloy combine to make a 3D printed material that could one day become tools or rocket parts on Mars.
A new method converts polylactic acid, used in tableware and food packaging, into a high-quality resin. The plastic can take up to 100 years to decompose.
