Researchers have created a metallic structure that is so hydrophobic, it refuses to sink - no matter how often it is forced into water or how much it is damaged or punctured. Possible applications ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have created a new laser-etched metal that was inspired by diving bell spiders and rafts of fire ants. The team has created a metallic structure that is so ...

One of the most well-known and intricately detailed types of 3D-printing, “vat photopolymerization,” uses light to form structures from photo-sensitive resin. A new study has found a way to leverage ...

Close up of a water drop on a rose petal. Rose petals exhibit a property called superhydrophobicity, which is of interest to material scientists. Now, researchers at Iowa State University have managed ...

Days after the discovery and swift disappearance of two shining metal monoliths half a world apart, another towering structure has popped up and then quickly vanished, this time from the pinnacle of a ...

Researchers have developed a light-based means of printing nano-sized metal structures that is 480 times faster and 35 times cheaper than the current conventional method. It is a scalable solution ...

Traditional semiconductors such as Si, GaAs, and HgCdTe seem unable to meet the development trend of electronic devices that feature ultra-small volume, lightweight, and low power consumption. These ...

Researchers have found that liquid has structure in certain circumstances, and that this structure significantly influences the mysterious and complex formation of metallic glasses. Moldable like ...
