In a leap forward for materials science, a multi-institutional team of researchers has developed a pioneering method of 3D printing cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs), enabling complex, ...

In CNC milling, the so-called “4th axis” is rotation of either the tool or the part around the other. In additive manufacturing techniques, like 3D printing, the angle at which a material is deposited ...

Have you ever imaged high-resolution 3D structures at the micro/nanoscale that react dynamically to their surroundings? The 4D printing technology is changing the game by using smart materials that ...

Xinyi Xiao is two years into conducting research on thermo-responsive and self-morphing 4D printing technology alongside masters student Surya Prakash Pandeya. Xiao is an assistant professor in the ...

4D printing is real, happening now, and has the potential to shape the world. Self-assembly in 4D printing uses materials responding to external stimuli. A regular 3D printer can be used to create 4D ...

Gutenberg’s printing press revolutionized the way the written word was replicated, bringing two-dimensional printing into the world and so vastly increasing accessibility of information. From that ...
