Architectural Glazing has long been an important expressive tool which, when selected and detailed thoughtfully, can contribute to the successful transformation of architectural concepts to reality. A ...

Using an off-the-shelf inkjet printer, a team of scientists has developed a simple technique for printing patterns of carbon nanotubes on paper and plastic surfaces. The method, which is described in ...

Pattern makers are often an unwelcome dose of reality for their customers. Their role is to look at your product design, listen to your specifications and plan out the easiest and most cost effective ...

Nanoscale 3D printing allows researchers to create structures thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair. These structures have potential applications in fields ranging from advanced ...

As impressive as the 3D printing process is, it can also be a bit time consuming. You are creating something out of nothing after all, and your printer needs to dispense and layer every square inch of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Advanced electronics manufacturing demands precise control over multiple layers of functional materials. Each layer - whether conducting electricity, emitting light, or processing ...

A team of 17 materials science and engineering researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana−Champaign and Erciyes University in Turkey have authored "High-Resolution Patterns of Quantum Dots ...

Microcontact printing (μCP) of proteins has been successfully used for patterning surfaces in various contexts. Here we describe a simple 'lift-off' method to print precise patterns of axon guidance ...

"For us, it became an enabler." By carefully designing patterns smaller than the diffraction limit, the team was able to precisely control how much light reached different parts of the printing area ...
