When we think about robots, we think about complex electronic devices. We’re conditioned to think about robots as sophisticated machines controlled by intricate programming and powered by advanced ...

Researchers at MIT have unexpectedly stumbled upon a way to 3D print active electronics – meaning transistors and components for controlling electrical signals – without the use of semiconductors or ...

A team of roboticists at the University of California San Diego and BASF Corporation has developed a unique 3D-printed soft robotic gripper that operates without the need for electronics. So, how does ...

This a robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Imagine a robot ...

Have you ever found yourself staring at a tangle of wires, wishing there was an easier way to bring your electronics project to life? If you’ve dabbled in DIY electronics, you know that creating ...

Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when they undergo a specific chemical reaction, known as "crosslinking." These ...

Australian startup Syenta has developed a 3D printer capable of printing highly complex and functional electronics like photovoltaics, batteries, sensors and more, promising to do so in ways that are ...

What do you actually print? Even if you have the best 3D printer imaginable, without something cool to print, it's just a paperweight. Finding those projects that make a 3D printer worthwhile is the ...
