Rice researchers develop 3D-printed wood from its own natural components
Researchers at Rice University have unlocked the potential to use 3D printing to make sustainable wood structures, offering a greener alternative to traditional manufacturing methods. Wood has historically been marred by wasteful practices generated during shaping processes, driving up costs and environmental impact. Now researchers in materials science and nanoengineering at Rice have developed an […]
A Massachusetts company found a cleaner way to turn scrap metal into battery material
Massachusetts-based 6K turns metals, including scrap, into high-performance materials for various applications, like lithium-ion batteries, additive manufacturing powders, ceramics, and other offerings that are tailored for specific industry needs. In 2023, the company signed contracts to provide the U.S. Army with materials for 3D printing and to provide materials science company Forge Nano with ingredients […]
Scientists reveal the first unconventional superconductor that can be found in mineral form in nature
Scientists from Ames National Laboratory have identified the first unconventional superconductor with a chemical composition also found in nature. Miassite is one of only four minerals found in nature that act as a superconductor when grown in the lab. The team’s investigation of miassite revealed that it is an unconventional superconductor with properties similar to […]
