Wire-cut 3D curved surfaces mimic minimal surfaces which cover space with least material and are also stronger. Large areas can be covered with less material. Conservation of planetary resources is ...

Imagine you're at a fair, and you see a booth with a giant dartboard. The booth owner challenges you to hit the bullseye. You take your shot, and the dart lands somewhere on the board. Now imagine ...

The twisted spirals made in this work exhibit interesting, tuneable superconductive properties. Courtesy: S Jin Researchers have found a way to grow layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials with ...

Researchers from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed heat-shrinkable polymers that can be used to laminate organic photovoltaic devices onto curved surfaces. They said ...

I’ve always been fascinated by the many ways that engineers adapt various technologies to create new and better sensors for challenging scenarios, even for basic physical parameters such as ...

Ordinarily, the microcircuit patterns used in microchips are printed onto flat silicon wafers, potentially limiting the chips' applications. A new technique, however, lets such patterns be more easily ...

While the field of printable electronics holds a great deal of promise, the printing of circuits onto curved surfaces is still very challenging. A new technique greatly simplifies the process of doing ...

A novel manufacturing strategy of 7-axis synchronization on-the-fly laser surface texturing, proposed by Harbin Institute of Technology researchers, enables ...
