Origami structures offer a number of benefits that could be useful to a range of applications from biomedical devices to equipment used in space exploration. Some of these benefits are low weight, expandability, and high strength. Until recently, though, no technology was available to make origami structures. Multiple steps are needed to build these structures, […]
Improving nanoscale additive manufacturing
A Department of Energy grant will fund research to advance an additive manufacturing technique for fabricating 3D nanoscale structures from a variety of materials. Using high-speed, thermally-energized jets…
