Batteries look very simple at first glance. In general, their fabrication is almost always the same: a cathode and an anode are sepearated by an electrolyte; a structure that enables electrons to flow and...

Following the “Intelligent and Resilient Infrastructure” grant received from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Power management company Eaton and the University of Toledo will investigate Additive Manufacturing Materials for Corps...

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funded project will develop new digital tools to extend in-process control from material production to delivery.  A consortium, led by Authentise, has been awarded a competitive grant by the UKRI's...

Researchers at the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have explored a new manufacturing approach of wind turbine blades; an approach that would improve both their performance and end-of-life recyclability. Reality is, achieving the elegant shape of...

We recently learned about EHLA 3D, an “Extreme High-speed Laser Material Deposition” process described as an “efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cladding processes”. Developed by research institute Fraunhofer ILT - Institute of Laser...

Coral reefs around the world are suffering from warming oceans and increasing pollution. For those who do not know, coral reefs are made up of rigid porous "skeletons" inhabited by the tiny coral polyps that...

The use of 3D printing in soil science is already relatively inexistent…Add to that open source technology, and experts in the field would feel completely lost. The fact is, despite the technological advances developed over...

Metal 3D printer manufacturer AML3D Limited has signed an agreement with Deakin University’s Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) to develop next generation materials and alloys specifically tailored to WAM®  , the patented Wire Additive...

A few months ago, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy (FE) had announced plans to invest $6 million in Federal funding for cost-shared research and development projects to further explore...

A joint-project carried out by European Space Agency (ESA), OHB System AG as well as Austrian manufacturers Incus and Lithoz GmbH will develop and test 3D printing in a micro-gravity environment. As a reminder, Lithoz is...
