Using cellulose nanofibers from wood, researchers have made paper that can be tuned using a slow heat treatment to be effective semiconductors, some almost as conductive as metals (ACS Nano 2022, DOI: ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...

Aerospace undergrad Alex Kuehnle observes PhD student Ivan Wu in the composites laboratory at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Because it’s costly and cumbersome to transport large ...
