Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed an ultra-fine 3D printing technique for fabricating vertically aligned nanolasers directly on semiconductor substrates. The approach enables high-density placement of optical components and is intended for use in future optical integrated circuits for computing, communications, and display technologies. The work was led by Ji […]
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed flexible, semi-transparent perovskite solar cells whose transparency and apparent color can be tuned without altering the light-absorbing material. Semi-transparent solar cells are often discussed in the context of windows and building-integrated photovoltaics, but in practice they tend to force a compromise. Most existing designs achieve transparency […]
A small 3D printer is now being used by clinicians at British Columbia Cancer Kelowna to create patient-specific tools for brachytherapy, enabling more accurate radiation delivery for people with cervical, vaginal, and recurrent endometrial cancers. “This was the dream of myself and a physician who has since moved back to Quebec,” said medical physicist Dr. […]
FUGO Precision 3D, a developer of 3D printing technology for dental manufacturing, has announced a strategic collaboration with South Korea’s Graphy, a developer of photopolymer materials for 3D printing, ahead of its official market debut at LMT Lab Day 2026 in Chicago.
