The United States Army Research Laboratory and Texas A&M University have developed a family of synthetic materials that are capable of self-healing. The polymers vary in texture, from ultra-soft to extremely rigid. They can be 3D printed, are recyclable, and stick to each other in air and underwater. Such materials are expected to be used…
The soil in your backyard could be used to build a home, thanks to 3D printing technology. Researchers from Texas and San Fransisco have come up with a way to turn soil into ink for 3D printing, according to a BBC report. By extracting clay from soil and mixing it with sodium silicate, the researchers…
