For electric planes to really take off and for electric cars to travel far longer distances between charges, we'll need batteries that pack far more energy without becoming prohibitively heavy. A team ...

Scientists at EPFL have reimagined 3D printing by turning simple hydrogels into tough metals and ceramics. Their process allows multiple infusions of metal salts that form dense, high-strength ...

In a quiet corner of Switzerland, researchers have stopped treating metal like something to be melted and poured, and started treating it like something that can be grown. Instead of blasting powders ...

Researchers have developed a 3D printing method that offers intricate constructions for next-generation energy, biomedical, and sensing technologies. Developed by researchers in Lausanne, Switzerland, ...

Some of the most coveted metals on the planet are not just expensive, they are almost unimaginably scarce in Earth's crust and in accessible ore deposits. Their rarity is rooted in deep planetary ...
