Micrometre-sized particles are key elements of several technologies ranging from drug-delivery vehicles to microelectronics, which makes optimizing the fabrication of these particles big business. One ...

Engineers at Cornell University have developed a new technique for 3D printing metallic objects – and it involves blasting titanium particles at supersonic speeds. The resulting metals are very porous ...

Researchers have that found that 3D printers spew tiny particles into the air as they operate, though the quantity and nature of these potentially toxic aerosols are poorly understood. A new study ...

3D printed microparticles have a variety of uses, including the development of microelectronics and pharmaceuticals, and the manufacturing of complex parts, but they require precise control and manual ...

A model that can have a 3D observation of micrometer-sized particles in a cell has been developed. Through the analysis and research of micrometer-sized particles in a cell, this model is expected to ...

If you have a 3D printer, you need to make sure it’s in a well-ventilated area–and maybe keep it out of a child’s room–because across the board, 3D printers release tiny, undetectable materials that ...

Stanford's latest breakthrough in 3D printing technology enables the production of one million dust-sized particles per day. While 3D printing has gained widespread adoption on a macroscale level, ...

Colloidal gels are complex systems made up of microscopic particles dispersed in a liquid, ultimately producing a semi-solid network. These materials have unique and advantageous properties that can ...

The particles emitted from 3D printers can negatively impact indoor air quality and have the potential to harm respiratory health, according to a new study. Consumer-grade 3D printers have grown in ...
