Rising power densities in AI data centers are forcing a shift to liquid cooling and service-based models, sparking debate over outsourcing versus addressing core infrastructure and maintenance.
The March 2026 issue of Advanced Materials & Processes magazine has an editorial focus on Additive Manufacturing.
Researchers at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences have developed a new method for making some of the smallest and smoothest curved optical mirrors used to control individual photons. The team, led by professors Marko Lončar, Mikhail Lukin and Kiyoul Yang, created high-performance mirrors […]
Researchers have developed a new sub-second volumetric 3D printing technique that eliminates the need to rotate the printed sample, a long-standing mechanical challenge in the field. The system, called Digital Incoherent Synthesis of Holographic Light Fields, or DISH, instead rotates the illumination using a high-speed periscope, allowing millimeter-scale structures to be printed in 0.6 seconds […]
A simple bouncy ball has become a key teaching tool for Penn State graduate students working to show children how materials behave and how science connects to daily life. Through “Mission: Materials Science,” an outreach program supported by Penn State’s NSF-funded Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, students collaborate with museum educators and media professionals […]
