3D printers — machines that can fit on a desktop and create 3D objects from plastics, metals, and other raw materials — can do just about anything. High-precision jets pump out custom medical implants ...

Anker Innovations has just kicked off pre-orders for what is claimed to be the "first 3D-texture UV Printer designed for personal use." This style of printer enables detailed color textured printing ...

When it comes to creating surfaces, it's a simple task to either make ones that are smooth or ones that are bumpy. But now researchers at MIT have created one that can be both. The 3D-printed surface ...

UK researchers led by scientists from the University of Leeds in collaboration with the University of Edinburg have, for the first time, been able to 3D print synthetic soft surfaces with texture like ...

Steakholder Foods, which claims the launch is a ‘world first’, says its proprietary tech allows the start-up to closely mimic the taste, texture and appearance of traditional meat and seafood.

A designer named Tom Burtonwood has designed a book that contains 3D-scanned textures he has grabbed from museums and architecture in his home city of Chicago. The book, which is in the form of an ...

Using 3D-printed food, researchers have found it's possible to change the way we taste by the way food is structured. 3D-printing a structure of chocolate and cream cheese, they found that the order ...

Scientists have recently discovered that plasmonic effects from metallic nanoparticles are capable of significantly improving solar cell performance. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 Because plasmonic ...
