Imagine a material that doesn’t make an object invisible to the human eye—but makes it nearly disappear from a thermal camera. Thanks to advances in additive manufacturing, researchers have…
The ability to feel touch is one of the most fundamental human senses. Soon, it may no longer be limited to living organisms. Researchers around the world are developing…
The next major breakthrough in energy storage may not come from a laboratory chemistry experiment—it may come from a 3D printer. Researchers around the world are developing new methods…
The next great leap in human exploration may begin with a 3D printer. As NASA prepares for future missions to the Moon and eventually Mars, engineers are developing technologies…
Artificial intelligence is making 3D printing smarter. Researchers have developed an AI-powered system capable of automatically detecting and correcting issues in 3D models before they are sent to a…
The U.S. Navy is taking 3D printing beyond the workshop and into real-world operations. During the RIMPAC 2026 multinational naval exercise, ships are using onboard 3D printers to manufacture…
