Hard materials keep modern life moving, from drill bits to cutting tools. One of the toughest is tungsten carbide with cobalt ...
Material won a $1.25 million contract from the US Air Force to validate the 3D-printing technology earlier this year. The ...
Inspired by the shape-shifting skin of octopuses, Penn State researchers developed a smart hydrogel that can change ...
Tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC–Co) is prized for its hardness, but that same property makes it unusually difficult to shape. The current process is wasteful and expensive for the yield produced, and an ...
Explore MIDO 2026 and the rise of 3D printing in eyewear manufacturing. Discover how this technology enhances sustainability.
Metamaterials—materials whose properties are primarily dictated by their internal microstructure, and not their chemical ...
It looks fragile, yet that internal structure allows a bird’s wing to withstand high winds while remaining light enough for flight. Nature rarely builds with solid blocks. Instead, it builds with ...
Former F1 engineer prints batteries to fit almost anywhere ...
