Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...
What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembled ...
While most 3D glass printing methods require energy-intensive use of chemical binders, Hebrew University team develops less ...
The use of 3D printing has been praised as an alternative to traditional construction. It promises to deliver faster construction times, creative design, and fewer construction errors, all while ...
Researchers created a 3D-printable bioactive glass that supports bone growth in rabbits, offering a low-cost, effective substitute for bone repair. This 3D-printable ...
You might think that glass has no business acting as a replacement for bone, but it turns out the two materials have many similarities. Researchers reporting in ACS Nano developed a 3D printable ...
MIT engineers are aiming to make construction more sustainable by developing reusable bricks made from 3D-printed recycled glass. The approach follows the principles of “circular construction”, which ...
Orbital Resonance reflects Michael Stern' s emotional landscape over the past three years. In this work he examines the interdependent orbits of relationships closest to him— wife, daughter, and ...
A 3D printable bio-active glass could be used to repair bone damage and help them grow back, a study suggests. The newly developed bio-glass—made with “green” and "cost-efficient" methods—was found to ...
