If you haven’t noticed, diode laser engraver/cutters have been getting more powerful lately. [Cranktown City] was playing with an Atomstack 20 watt laser and wondered if it would sinter sand into ...

Researchers at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University have developed a method to produce glass objects with a 3D printer that eliminates the need for wasteful chemical glues to bind the layers together. To ...

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 ...

You might think that glass has no business acting as a replacement for bone, but it turns out the two materials have many similarities. For a new study published in ACS Nano, researchers developed a ...

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 ...

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 ...
