Complex manual steps in aircraft production – such as the assembly of newly developed, weight-reducing thermoplastic integral frames that stiffen the fuselage in the transverse direction – are to be ...

Scientists working at microscopic scales have relied on a single dominant fabrication technique to build complex 3D structures. Two-photon polymerization made it possible to sculpt objects far thinner ...

A new combination of microscopy methods has revealed exquisite detail of the virus assembly process used by herpes simplex virus during replication. The research, published today as a Reviewed ...

Building things so small that they are smaller than the width of a human hair was previously achieved by using a method called two-photon polymerization, also known as 2PP—today's state-of-the-art in ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University now have pioneered an entirely new hybrid material system. Their novel approach enables assembling 2D nanosheets into 3D interconnected networks for the first ...

Ultra-light graphene lattice floats on a feather. Photo Credit: Nanowerk researchers Over the past decade, researchers have made significant progress using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques to ...

The mainstream adoption of 3D-IC has become a question mark due to critical challenges ranging from early-stage chip designs to 3D assembly exploration to final design signoff. A new EDA tool claims ...

HII has announced that shipbuilders at its Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) division have successfully installed the first valve manifold assembly created by 3D Printing (additive manufacturing) on a ...

The move to heterogeneous multi-chip/chiplet products improves yield, performance and modularity while reducing power and overall product footprint. However, this shift to heterogeneous assembly also ...

We’re not completely sure why [Fraens] needs to label so many glass bottles at home. Perhaps he’s brewing his own beer, or making jams. Whatever the reason is, it was justification enough to build an ...
