Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

Building or repairing structures in difficult-to-reach locations is a daunting task, as bringing in the cranes, scaffolding and whatnot can be quite difficult. That's why scientists are creating a ...

You can make some big 3D printed projects in your own home, but projects this massive are going to require a specialized ...

The U.S. Department of Defense is constructing three barracks at the Camp Swift Training Center in Bastrop, Texas that will each be the largest 3D-printed structures in the Americas. Each building ...

Kamal Khayat, seen here with a 3D printer in Missouri S&T University’s Advanced Materials Characterization Laboratory, leads a team that won a $1.4-million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...

Drones working together can create large 3D-printed structures made of foam or cement. The experiments are paving the way for a future where swarms of drones could help construct extremely tall or ...

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Shamrock Island, located about two miles off Mustang Island in Corpus Christi Bay, is getting a much-needed boost thanks to a coastal restoration project to protect its fragile ...

I admit: if I see a beehive, I back away—fresh honey be damned. But part of me is also fascinated. Beehives are a remarkable feat of engineering. Made of materials from tree buds to chewed-up wax, ...

Researchers have created a fleet of bee-inspired flying 3D printers that build and repair structures while flying. The technology, which has been tested in the lab, could ultimately be used for ...

What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembled ...
