I think by now we’re all fairly familiar with Shapeways and their 3D printing system. Incidentally, you can now select glass for some 3D models at Shapeways, which is pretty cool. But the additive ...

Researchers describe how to exploit DNA origami as a platform to build superconducting nanoarchitectures. The structures they built are addressable with nanometric precision that can be used as a ...

(Nanowerk News) The construction of complex man-made objects--a car, for example, or even a pizza--almost invariably entails what are known as "top-down" processes, in which the structure and order of ...

Among the various approaches for flexible electronics developed by researchers, one way is to directly fabricate electronic devices on flexible substrate through low-temperature processes, such as ...

Origami can be used to create mechanical, binary switches, and researchers report the fabrication of such a paper device, using the Kresling pattern, that can act as a mechanical switch. By putting ...

Closeup of an origami structure created through Digital Light Processing 3D printing. Engineers at The Georgia Institute of Technology have merged the ancient art of folding paper, origami, with 3D ...

WASHINGTON, January 19, 2021 -- The quest for ever-smaller electronic components led an international group of researchers to explore using molecular building blocks to create them. DNA is able to ...
