Topological interlocking materials and structures represent an innovative design approach in which individual, often geometrically complex, elements are arranged to mutually constrain one another.

Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry ...

Tiny 3D devices can now be made from many materials. This method can create micro-robots, sensors & small machines with new functions.

Mono-material flexible film packaging structures based primarily on polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or even polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are being promoted as an effective means of ...

With the assistance of rotatable mandrel and slit projection systems, PLLP can rapidly achieve the manufacturing of single-layer or multi-layer multi-material structures. A novel 3D printing ...

Fungi are master engineers capable of building vast networks underground. Now, researchers have harnessed their capabilities to create a living building material that could be a sustainable ...
