Metallic three-dimensional lattice structures harbor different mechanical properties. This article considers research published in the journal Materials, that analyzes the energy absorption properties ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have designed a new class of 3D-printed lattice structures that are lightweight and highly stiff, a combination that is not supposed to be ...

Researchers have developed a lattice structure capable of absorbing a wide range of vibrations while also being useful as a load-bearing component -- for example, in propellers, rotors and rockets. It ...

Sometimes it feels like we haven’t yet tapped into all the possibilities of additive manufacturing. Festo, a company that loves to try innovative things (and not always bring them to market), just ...

A new way of making scaffolding for biological cultures could make it possible to grow cells that are highly uniform in shape and size, and potentially with certain functions. The new approach uses an ...

Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or ...
