The process begins with a solution containing micron-scale copper particles suspended in water. A small amount of indium-gallium alloy, which remains in a liquid state at room temperature, is added to ...

Although there are several methods of 3D-printing metal objects, all of them involve the application of heat – which isn't conducive to producing certain heat-sensitive electronics, among other things ...

The 3D printing revolution is a pretty regimented one, when you think about it. You detail the design, feed it into the printer, then sit back and watch as it emits the material in strict horizontal ...

Researchers have made a breakthrough in the printing of metal objects with the development of a highly conductive metallic gel that can be used to fabricate 4D-printed parts at room temperature. The ...

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new, electrically conductive metallic gel that can be used with commercial-grade 3D printers. As well as conducting electricity, the ...

Scientists have built a highly electrically conductive metallic gel that could be used to print three-dimensional (3D) solid objects at room temperature. Researchers have developed a metallic gel that ...

Although we may think of 3D-printed items as being hard, they're actually often made from soft gels, as is the case with bioprinted body parts. A new system now allows such objects to be printed at a ...

First author Alina Elter (right) and Wibke Johnen, the medical technician responsible for the design of 3D printed objects, discuss a new 3D printed prostate attached to a silicone bladder for use in ...
