A new set of molecular building blocks aims to make complex chemistry as simple and accessible as a toy construction kit. Researchers have developed a new class of chemical building blocks that simply ...

A new approach to producing metamaterials draws on kirigami techniques to make three-dimensional, reconfigurable building blocks that can be used to create complex, dynamic structures. Because the ...

Plans to build a 3D printed church in Neratovice, Czechia are progressing after the Archdiocese of Prague welcomes the use of ...

A gigantic new metal additive manufacturing system at Roush Industries may finally give engineers a glimpse of 3D printing’s ultimate potential in the auto industry. The new system, an X Line 2000R 3D ...

LEGO are perhaps the perfect children’s toy, at least until you step on the errant brick while walking around the house. Available in all kinds of sets with varying themes and characters, they ...

What if your house could respond to a rupture in one of its structural beams by simply repairing itself, or bridges could patch up their own cracks the moment they appear? As fanciful as it sounds, ...

Leading school science supplier Carolina Biological launched three new sets of K-8 digital resources for remote teaching this fall: Smithsonian Science for the Classroom™@HOME, Smithsonian Science and ...

3D printed concrete may lead to a shift in architecture and construction. Because it can be used to produce new shapes and forms that current technologies struggle with, it may change the ...

In my two previous columns, I discussed the lower and intermediate levels of the building block approach for crashworthiness testing and analysis of composite structures. I focused on the commercial ...
