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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

A small team of physicists at the University of Amsterdam has demonstrated the ability of 3D-printed particles to propel themselves across the surface of a fluid, given the right fuel. The group has ...

Consumer-grade 3D printers have grown in popularity in recent years, but the particles emitted from such devices can negatively impact indoor air quality and have the potential to harm respiratory ...

Purdue University researchers have developed a patent-pending method to add particles to filament and disperse them evenly through a traditional fused deposition modeling, or FDM, 3D printer, which ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Each year, millions of people miss crucial vaccine booster shots, undermining the effectiveness of immunization programs worldwide. The challenge stems from a fundamental ...

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 ...
