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 ...

A new approach to producing metamaterials draws on kirigami techniques to make three-dimensional, reconfigurable building blocks that can be used to create complex, dynamic structures. Because the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA and Ohio State researchers explore laser-based 3D printing of lunar regolith to create durable habitats, tools and structures for long-term Moon missions.

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 ...
