CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Batteries that charge faster and have greater capacity could boost portable electronic devices and electric cars.
Columbia Engineers make white paint whiter—and cooler—by removing white pigment and invent a polymer coating, with nano-to-microscale air voids, that acts as a spontaneous air cooler and can be fabricated, dyed, and applied like paint.
DLP (Digital Light Processing) 3D printing uses photopolymerization to create 3D objects. Understanding the photopolymerization process can help you mitigate common problems that make your prints fail or that reduce print quality.
A nanoscale coating that’s at least 95 percent air repels the broadest range of liquids of any material in its class, causing them to bounce off the treated surface, according to the engineering researchers who developed it.
A new method of fabricating battery electrodes using Aerosol Jet 3D printing.
What is DLP is a 3D printing? This article aims to provide an in-depth understanding of DLP 3D printing, its working principles, advantages, limitations, and diverse applications in various sectors.
