“Right now, DoD customers and federal [contractors] often wait 28 weeks or more for a prototype printed circuit board,” says Ramsdell. “They get a batch of 10, and only one or two might work. By the ...

Researchers produced 3D-printed, semiconductor-free logic gates, which perform computations in active electronic devices. As they don't require semiconductor materials, they represent a step toward 3D ...

With 3D electronics, bulky PCBs can be replaced, resulting in sleek and integrated designs. The automotive industry is one of the largest sectors benefiting from this technology, as electronics can be ...

Researchers report fully 3D printed magnetoelectronics that let printed parts sense their own motion and state, enabling ...

Whether its connectors, sensors, or advanced packaging components, the ongoing trend for miniaturization represents one of the foremost challenges for today’s electronics designer. Add to that, the ...

Hydrogels are materials that have properties similar to biological tissue, making them ideal for use in medical devices. They are water-swollen and cross-linked polymeric networks that can retain a ...

A team of roboticists at the University of California San Diego and BASF Corporation has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics. So, how does ...

Though additive manufacturing wouldn’t exist for another 40 years, the prolific American sci-fi author Murray Leinster penned a 1945 short story featuring a spookily prescient description of what we ...
