Princeton engineers have developed an easily scalable 3D printing technique to manufacture soft plastics with programmed stretchiness and flexibility that are also recyclable and inexpensive—qualities ...

Three-dimensional (3D) metal–plastic composite structures have widespread potential applicability in smart electronics, micro/nanosensing, internet-of-things (IoT) devices, and even quantum computing.

The vast majority of floor trusses in homes are made with wood, at least in part due to its strength, light weight, cost efficiency and ease of installation. Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute ...
