Researchers have demonstrated the first chip-based 3D printer, a tiny device that emits reconfigurable beams of visible light into a well of resin that rapidly cures into a solid shape. The advance ...

Researchers at Brigham Young University have demonstrated the ability to create microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices with channels and valves smaller than ever before. Using a new 3D printing technique, ...

Researchers at BYU are the first to 3D-print a viable microfluidic device small enough to be effective at a scale much less than 100 micrometers. Microfluidic devices are tiny chips that can sort out ...

Every once in a while, a technology comes along that seems like it’s been beamed down from the land of holodecks and dilithium crystals. A 3D printer that fits in the palm of your hand and produces ...

Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin are leading an academic and industry all-star team that aims to revolutionize the production of ...

Researchers used 3D printing and capillary action to create customizable neural chips, expanding design freedom for brain research, biosensors and biocomputing. (Nanowerk News) Cultured neural tissues ...

The new silicon-on-polymer chip, which merges silicon and 3D-printing technologies, has more memory than any other flexible chip. Researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRI) and American ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An author, speaker, and executive, I explore the world's industries. The ongoing, much-lamented semiconductor shortage continues ...

The first entirely 3D-printed organ-on-a-chip has now been created with integrated sensing. Built by a fully automated, digital manufacturing procedure, the 3D-printed heart-on-a-chip can be quickly ...

3D printing's potential to create custom objects, parts and tools has enormous potential for the medical field, where bespoke organs could be created on demand, saving lives that wouldn't survive ...

Microphysiological systems, or organs-on-chips, are emerging as a way for scientists to study the effect that drugs, cosmetics and diseases may have on the human body, without needing to test on ...

(Nanowerk News) Imagine a portable 3D printer you could hold in the palm of your hand. The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to ...
