Optically Active Nanostructures 3D Printed by Austrian Research Team

For more than a decade, a research team at Austria’s Graz University of Technology has been developing a method for manufacturing nanostructures with 3D geometries. In November 2023, the team…

3D Printed Nanostructures to Create Structural Colors like Butterfly Wings

From fashion and art to research in color and lightweighting, butterfly wings have inspired many an innovation, most recently a team of researchers from ETH Zurich whose latest work could…

Purdue University: 3D Printing Nanoantenna Arrays for Metasurfaces

Jithin Prabha of Purdue University explores AM processes using 2 photon polymerization, useful for a variety of applications such as optics, along with metamaterials and surfaces, microfluidics, tissue engineering and…

3D Nanoprinting Using Charged Aerosol Focusing

In a paper entitled “Three-dimensional nanoprinting via charged aerosol focusing,” a group of researchers describes a 3D nanoprinting method to create versatile nanostructures that cannot easily be created with existing…

Ireland: Researchers Use 3D Printed Templates to Control and Tune Metallic Nanostructures

Metallic architectures with nanoscale features are in high demand because of their unique electrical and optical properties, but aren’t the easiest to fabricate…unless 3D printing comes into play, of course….

Research Team Achieves On-Demand 3D Nanoprinting of Pure Metal Structures with Direct-Writing Method

Have you ever wanted your own tiny 3D printed magic wand? While we unfortunately can’t offer you the real thing, we can tell you about a 3D shape made out…

A 3D Printhead with Single Atom Precision? Enter the Nanobeacon

A source has tipped us off to a possible precursor for an “atomic precision” 3D printhead where the interaction of tailored light with a single atom and individual nanostructures combine to…

TETRA’s New 3D Printer Breaks World Record for 3D Printing Largest Nano Structures Yet

When it comes to 3D printing, there is a lot of talk about large scale printing. In this past year alone, we have seen things as large as a house…

3D Printed Nanostructures so Cheap They Could be Done in Your Garage

It’s called ‘nanolithography,’ and researchers say it’s a process which takes advantage of transparent nanoscale spheres to build three-dimensional structures aimed at creating pieces for electronic, biomedical, and perhaps even…

Researchers Create the World’s Smallest Stereoscopic 3D Color Prints Using Nanopixels

Researchers have been working on the area of color 3D printing — with stereoscopic microprints that create the impression of depth and solidity. By encoding two images in the same…
