MIT researchers 3D print formwork molds using mud - replacing the more costly wood formworks for concrete construction.

The US Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has designed, printed, and successfully tested a specimen capsule for use in ...

Caltech researchers 3D print chain mail-like material - known as PAM - that responds to some stresses like a fluid and others like a solid.

EarthWorks by MIT uses treated mud for concrete formwork, promoting efficient, low-cost construction and significant ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created new 3D-printed wall and ceiling coverings that naturally absorb and store excess moisture.

The climate crisis poses a big threat to both our environment and our lives. This has made the reduction of carbon dioxide ...

Experiments have yielded a fascinating new type of matter, neither granular nor crystalline, that responds to some stresses as a fluid would and to others like a solid. The new material could have ...

The new material, known as PAM (for polycatenated architected materials) could have uses in areas ranging from helmets.

Following the basic principle of interlocking shapes, like those found in a chain, PAMs are made up of a variety of shapes linked together to form three-dimensional patterns whose configurations are ...

The real question isn’t whether AI belongs in FE, but whether we have the courage to shape it in a way that serves our sector, our students, our employers and our communities. This week, the ...
