A new type of "ink" makes it possible to 3D print electrochemically switchable, conducting polymers using a light-based process. Researchers from the universities of Heidelberg and Stuttgart have ...

Imagine being able to create custom vibrant, multi-colored 3D prints with the same ease as printing a single-color object. For hobbyists and professionals alike, this idea sparks excitement—but anyone ...

Color 3D printing has gone mainstream, and we expect more than one hacker will be unpacking one over the holidays. If you have, say, a color inkjet printer, the process is simple: print. Sure, maybe ...

A new innovation in the world of 3D printing has been launched via Kickstarter this month in the form of the Co Print ChromaSet. Capable of transforming your 3D printer into a color multifilament ...

Both the monomer-emissive crystal of 1 and the excimer-emissive crystal of 2 exhibit (+)-CPL and transform by grinding into excimer-emissive amorphous states that retain (+)-CPL. Certain advanced ...
