We're all familiar with two dimensional design drawings — not to mention the questions that usually accompany them because they can provide only so much information before becoming hopelessly ...

A research team develops 3D-printed pneumatic logic modules that control the movements of soft robots using only air pressure. These modules enable logical switching of the air flow and can thus ...

Manufacturers of smart medical devices, smart robots and other products with smart sensors could simplify their device design and fabrication using a patent-pending Purdue University method that ...

Turbojet engines are an incredible piece of 20th century engineering that except for some edge cases, have mostly been replaced by Turbofans. Still, even the most basic early designs were ...

Ready to upgrade from your e-scooter? The NERA electric motorcycle is a functioning bike that was made using a 3D printer. The only catch -- it's just a "use case" example for a German 3D printing ...

Existing models of electrical contacts are often inapplicable at the nanoscale because there are significant differences between nanostructures and bulk materials arising from unique geometries and ...

A 3D-printed, partially-solar-powered, battery electric car created by students at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is all set to hit the racetrack at Shell’s Eco-marathon Asia later ...

The futuristic design of this motorcycle isn’t quite like anything else we’ve seen. One of the first things you’ll notice is a big empty space where a motorcycle’s engine usually goes. There’s an ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University innovators are taking cues from nature to develop 3D photodetectors for biomedical imaging. The Purdue researchers used some architectural features from spider ...

Three-dimensional (3D) anisotropic functional properties are benefit to the multiple using of materials, and also are contribute to enrich their regulatory dimensionality. What general characteristics ...
