Researchers have that found that 3D printers spew tiny particles into the air as they operate, though the quantity and nature of these potentially toxic aerosols are poorly understood. A new study ...

A small team of physicists at the University of Amsterdam has demonstrated the ability of 3D-printed particles to propel themselves across the surface of a fluid, given the right fuel. The group has ...

Consumer-grade 3D printers have grown in popularity in recent years, but the particles emitted from such devices can negatively impact indoor air quality and have the potential to harm respiratory ...

A new particle detector called PLATON could replace millions of tiny detector components with a single block of ...

Micrometre-sized particles are key elements of several technologies ranging from drug-delivery vehicles to microelectronics, which makes optimizing the fabrication of these particles big business. One ...
