Liquid Metal Printing
Engineers have developed a new 3D-printing technique that uses molten aluminum to quickly manufacture large-scale parts. This Liquid Metal Printing method deposits the metal into a bed of tiny glass Keep reading
Liquid-in-Liquid Printing
With 3D printing and other recent technologies, manufacturing options are always in flux. Here, researchers explore a method for printing a liquid inside of a liquid. Their materials are specially Keep reading
Dip Coating
Imagine dipping a rod into a liquid mixture filled with particles. When you pull the rod out, do particles stick to it? The answer depends on the relative importance of Keep reading
Using Instabilities for Manufacturing
Manufacturing textured, flexible surfaces can be difficult, but researchers are exploring ways to use fluid dynamical instabilities to make the process easier. They begin with a pourable polymer mixture that Keep reading
