Engineers demonstrate their approach by printing the smallest known 3-D microfluidic circuit element

Engineers detail bird feather properties that could lead to better adhesives and aerospace materials

Despite having no motors, batteries, circuits, or processors, the objects can switch between multiple configurations in response to pre-determined environmental cues

It's not quite the Ant-Man suit, but the system produces 3-D structures one thousandth the size of the originals

As a proof of concept, the team used their method to create blood vessel networks capable of keeping a breast cancer tumor alive outside the body

The 3-D printing method used to make the materials is known as stereolithography

It sounds like something straight out of Alice in Wonderland, but researchers generated mushrooms patterned with energy-producing bacteria and an electrode network

The discovery could help trace 3-D printed guns

Anthony Atala, MD, discusses some of the exciting possibilities as well as existing challenges in 3-D bioprinting

What if the inherent weaknesses of a material actually made houses and buildings stronger during wildfires and earthquakes?
