My work with shiny microbes has finally seen the light, instead of just shedding it 😊 Give it a read! Thanks @studart_andre @Complex_Mat for helping me getting this one out :) #livingmaterials #materials #microbes #3Dprinting #ethzurich @ETH_Materials onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Proud to be part of this exciting collaborative research !
Since wet foams are compressible, they may show this kind of behavior during extrusion. A smoother printing process for ceramic foams that passively cool and insulate was reported by a team from @Complex_Mat + @HarvardGSD! See more #OpenAccess : ow.ly/Qkvo50LhU0W

Nicole Kleger @KlegerSchai and Simona Fehlmann have developed a #3Dprinting process for creating salt templates that they can fill with other #materials. One area of application is the creation of highly porous lightweight metal components. ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/e…
