Floor-sweeping robots are only getting better, with new mopping skills, better navigation chops, and more automation, meaning ...

The best wet-dry vacuums streamline hard floor cleaning. We tested 15 vacuum mop combos for their ease of use, maintenance, ...

Engineering researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have achieved breakthroughs in multi-material 3D printing through the power of capillary action. The LLNL team printed lattice ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Adding gold nanoparticles to 3D printed materials has always faced a fundamental problem: the particles must either be mixed into the printing material beforehand or applied as a ...

Supernova Industries has been given a contract by the American Center for Manufacturing and Innovation (ACMI) to 3D print military-grade energetic materials. The contract has been awarded under ...

In either case, 3D printing’s flexibility in terms of design, materials and processes makes it possible to create parts with a transparent effect. This can be a difficult task since the very principle ...

In a recent example, a team of researchers in California has developed polycatenated architectural materials (PAMs), which are capable of interweaving to form unique 3D structures. These materials can ...

The low manufacturing cost of ceramic makes the material easy on the wallet, although you can still go all out on artisan products like Heath Ceramics tiles (and the extra cost is often worth it). You ...

These building blocks, which in this case are composed of carbon, are arranged in complex 3D structures called nanolattices. To design their improved materials, Serles and Filleter worked with ...

Researchers at the University of Maine have managed to 3D print an organic building material with the strength of steel. The SM2ART Nfloor is printed as a single piece in about 30 hours, which is a ...
