<p>Stanford materials engineers have 3D printed tens of thousands of hard-to-manufacture nanoparticles long predicted to yield promising new materials that change form in an instant.</p>
In nanomaterials, shape is destiny. That is, the geometry of the particle in the material defines the physical characteristics of the resulting material.
In this interview, we speak with Stanford's Gu Group about their newly developed metal nanocluster-based material that's advancing nanoscale 3D printing.
Engineers have designed a new material for nanoscale 3D printing that is able to absorb twice as much energy as other similarly dense materials and could be used to create better lightweight protective lattices.
By MATTHEW KEELER | STARS AND STRIPES Published: January 28, 2021 OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea — The civil engineering squadron at this U.S. air base is using buildings tagged for demolition as an opportunity for “live fire” training for firefighters, security forces, explosive ordnance disposal teams and special operations forces. By setting rotting furniture ablaze, military trainers created scenarios on the first floor of an old dormitory Jan. 22, filling the halls with dense smoke for firefighting teams to navigate before extinguishing the fires. By rotating teams into the building,...
