Inspired by the way diving bell spiders and fire ants use their water-repelling legs and bodies to trap air in order to float on water, researchers from the University of Rochester have found a way to ...

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 ...

Recent discoveries by Venus rovers have unveiled metallic structures on the planet’s surface, sparking curiosity and various hypotheses among scientists. These metallic ruins raise questions about ...

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 ...

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 ...

Caltech scientists have developed a method to create metallic objects of a precisely specified shape and composition, giving them unprecedented control of the metallic mixtures, or alloys, they create ...

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 ...
