Scientists created Crispier Chocolate using 3D Printers
We like some foods, and dislike others. Of course, the way food tastes is important, but mouthfeel, and even the sound that food makes when we bite it, also determine whether we…
Rapid 3D printing method moves toward 3D-printed organs
A University at Buffalo-led research team is using a 3D printing method called stereolithography and jelly-like materials known as hydrogels to speed up and improve 3D printing. The work is a step…
Researchers 3D print lifelike heart valve models
Researchers from the University of Minnesota, with support from Medtronic, have developed a groundbreaking process for multi-material 3D printing of lifelike models of the heart’s aortic valve and the surrounding structures that…
Aerogel – the micro structural material of the future
Aerogel is an excellent thermal insulator. So far, however, it has mainly been used on a large scale, for example in environmental technology, in physical experiments or in industrial catalysis. Empa researchers…
