Researchers in Switzerland have found a way of using sound waves to manipulate objects in disordered environments such as liquids. Instead of trapping the objects as conventional optical and acoustic ...

We’ve all seen what modern 3D printing technology is capable of, but it still has some serious limitations. Many times, 3D printed objects come out quite rough, with jagged edges and uneven surfaces, ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them ...

Ordinarily, if you want to make a 3D-printed liquid-filled object, you have to inject the liquid after the object has been printed. A new process, however, allows such items to be printed all in one ...

A micro-scale gripper uses a liquid-permeable surface to handle fragile components like chips and thin films without applying mechanical force or contact. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Micromanipulation may ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a gentle, contact-free method to collect liquids and remove them from microscopic surface structures. The method uses vapor condensation to ...

Ultrasound-induced spin in liquid droplets concentrates particles, opening new possibilities for biomedical testing and drug development technologies. (Nanowerk News) Researchers have detailed the ...

MIT spin-off Rapid Liquid Print has raised $7 million in funding for its novel liquid-based 3D printing technology. Boston-based Rapid Liquid Print was founded as an additive manufacturing startup in ...
