• 3D Printed Flexible Structures That 'Remember' Their Shapes Created By Scientists

  

  3D printing is a nascent industry with many possible applications and scientists have now come up with a process in which the printed polymer, when exposed to a specific temperature, changes shape to go back to its original form “even after being stretched, twisted and bent at extreme angles.” Scientists from various universities collaborated to design a 3D printing method that uses light to print structures with very fine details.The research is useful because shape-memory polymers “can be usef..

• Jupiter's Extended Family? A Billion or More

  

  Our galaxy is home to a bewildering variety of Jupiter-like worlds: hot ones, cold ones, giant versions of our own giant, pint-sized pretenders only half as big around. Astronomers say that in our galaxy alone, a billion or more such Jupiter-like worlds could be orbiting stars other than our sun. And we can use them to gain a better understanding of our solar system and our galactic environment, including the prospects for finding life. It turns out the inverse is also true - we can turn..
