Researchers have developed a new laser-based process for 3D printing intricate parts made of glass. With further development, the new method could be useful for making complex optics for vision, ...

A research team led by Prof. Mitch LI Guijun, Assistant Professor from the Division of Integrative Systems and Design at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), has developed an ...

Laser printers use toner, which is a fine powder that gets melted onto the paper to create a permanent image. Toner-based printers, which also include xerographic copiers, typically print very quickly ...

To date, petrochemical-based polymers have been mainly used as inks for this highly precise 3D laser printing process. However, these polymers contribute to the depletion of fossil fuels and the ...

Printers may seem like background office tools, but for small businesses, the right choice can save money, improve workflows, and boost security. From understanding the origins and mechanics of laser ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Metal halide perovskites have attracted substantial research interest since 2009 when their potential for solar cell applications was first demonstrated. These semiconductor ...

Microalgae such as the diatom Odontella aurita and the green alga Tetraselmis striata are especially suitable as 'biofactories' for the production of sustainable materials for 3D laser printing due to ...
