While renewable energy offers many opportunities for decentralizing energy production, it can sometimes feel that doing so on a truly local level remains unachievable with increasingly large ...

Here's my review of the new mCreate 3D printer and laser engraver from Makeblock! In this video I design and build a model wind turbine to test the printer, and I was very pleased with the results!

A team of University of Maine (UMaine, Orono, U.S.) researchers have secured a $75,000 grant to explore recycling wind blades as feedstock for 3D printing. The award is a Phase 1 winner from the ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced an award of $2,849,000 to the Composites Manufacturing Simulation Center (CMSC) of Purdue University (West Lafayette ...

Designed to spend long durations in hostile, windy environments such as certain deserts, polar regions or even other planets, WANDER-bot does notneed a battery to power movement, enabling longer ...

Researchers have developed a 3D-printed device that generates twisting light beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM), a form of rotational energy that can carry more data than regular beams.

Australian researchers have recently developed the world’s first underwater 3D concrete printing system which is capable of building stable structures without chemical accelerators and additives. To ...
