MIT Develops 3D-Printable Aluminum Alloy That’s Up to Five Times Stronger Than Conventional Metals
MIT researchers have developed a 3D-printable aluminum alloy that is five times stronger than conventional cast aluminum. Created using machine learning and rapid 3D-printing techniques, the metal remains stable at high temperatures. The breakthrough could replace heavier and costlier materials in aircraft engines, vehicles, and advanced industrial...

Carnegie Mellon’s AI Drones Can Build Mid-Air Structures With 90 Percent Success Rate
Carnegie Mellon engineers have unveiled AI-controlled drones that 3D print by snapping magnetic blocks together mid-air. Powered by a large language model, the drones translate simple commands into precise construction plans, achieving 90% accuracy. The technology could enable aerial infrastructure repair and emergency shelter construction in hard-...

NASA’s Don Pettit Returns to Earth with Russian Crewmates After ISS Science Mission
Soyuz MS-26 safely landed in Kazakhstan on April 19, bringing NASA astronaut Don Pettit and two Russian cosmonauts back to Earth. The crew completed a months-long science mission aboard the ISS, conducting key experiments on 3D printing, water purification, fire behaviour, and plant biology, supporting future lunar and Mars exploration goals.

Recyclable Stretchable Plastic Developed with 3D Printing for Multiple Uses
Princeton University researchers have developed a new 3D printed plastic material that is stretchable, flexible, and recyclable. Using thermoplastic elastomers and thermal annealing, the material can be tailored to different mechanical properties, making it suitable for applications in soft robotics, medical devices, prosthetics, and more. The cost...

MIT Advances Active Electronics With 3D-Printed, Semiconductor-Free Logic Gates
MIT researchers have created 3D-printed logic gates that perform switching functions without semiconductors. This development could lead to more accessible electronics manufacturing, allowing devices to be printed outside traditional facilities. Though not yet comparable to silicon-based components, these printed devices are a significant step towa...

3D-Printed Food Developed by Researchers, Could Help People Eat Alternative Protein Sources
A Singapore-based research team has developed a methodical and effective 3D food printing technique to solve issues with the food supply. Alternative proteins may eventually replace animal proteins as the primary source of protein consumed by humans, according to a researcher from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. The st...

3D-Printed Passive Gripper Helps Factory Robots Change Gears, Easily Pick Up Any Object, Research Shows
A team of researchers from the University of Washington developed a tool that can design a passive gripper that is 3D-printed and can determine the most effective way to pick up an object. The gripper could help robots in factories easily pick up various kinds of objects without altering their shape, like the tongs on a forklift, to reduce costs.

New Method to Create 3D Printed Sensors Could Help Scientists Predict Weather, Study Climate Change
Researchers at the MIT have developed the ability to create low-cost plasma sensors for orbiting spacecraft. These 3D-printed sensors can be produced for tens of dollars in a matter of days. The 3D-printed plasma sensorsare ideal for CubeSats, which are used for environmental monitoring or and could help scientists weather prediction.

Scientists Create 3D-Printed Wagyu Beef, and It Looks Like the Real Deal
Researchers from Osaka University say that the steak created in the lab bears great resemblance to that made from the world-renowned Wagyu beef cattle. To achieve this, the team isolated stem cells from Wagyu cows. These stem cells were then incubated and converted into muscle, fat, and blood vessel cells.
