Prince Rupert’s drops are tadpole-shaped pieces of glass. But they don’t behave at all like you’d expect. Strike the fat end ...

A new 3D printing process can produce complex and highly porous glass objects, researchers report. Producing glass objects using 3D printing is not easy. Only a few groups of researchers around the ...

(Phys.org)—A team of researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany has developed a way to 3-D print objects made of pure glass. In their paper published in the journal Nature, the group ...

ETH researchers used a 3-D printing process to produce complex and highly porous glass objects. The basis for this is a special resin that can be cured with UV light. Producing glass objects using 3-D ...

Most three-dimensional glass objects are produced via either a molding, blowing or 3D-printing process. Chinese scientists, however, have devised a technique of folding such items into shape – and it ...

Plastic is a lot easier to work with than glass, which is one of the reasons it's used so much more often. That may be about to change, though, thanks to a new process that allows glass to be ...

Design fans in particular know that big things can often come in small packages. Such was the case with last night’s debut of glass artist John Hogan’s collection, dubbed “Menagerie,” at the San ...
