A prism is a 3D shape which has a constant cross section - both ends of the solid are the same shape and anywhere you cut parallel to these ends will give you the same shape. For example ...

Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum alloy at the atomic scale, searching for the key to its strength, when he ...

Researchers at the UAB have developed a new chemical reaction to form solid polymeric networks using light (photocuring) which will allow the preparation of solid materials with controlled shapes ...

One layer at a time, the laser melts the powder into a solid shape. 3D printing creates shapes that would be impossible with any other method. For example, in 2015 GE designed fuel nozzles for ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A new light-based polymerization reaction enables 3D printing with sub-millimeter resolution. This method uses two different-colored light sources to control the ...
