IADR 2026 recognizes Graphy’s 4D printing–based bioadhesive and regeneration platform, underscoring its leadership as a ...

Although 4D printing is considered very promising for various biomedical applications – such as tissue scaffolds, neural scaffolds, grafts and stents, cardiac patches and valves, even bionic ...

Cardiovascular diseases constitute a major global health concern. Various complications that affect normal blood flow in ...

4D printing develops materials that can change properties and characteristics based on changes in the environment—like temperature. The changes could let materials self-assemble thus speeding up ...

Three-dimensional printing, also known as additive manufacturing, takes a digital blueprint and turns it into a physical object using computer-aided design (CAD). A repeating 2D structure is built up, ...

We have all heard of 3D printing, but have you heard of 4D printing? Probably not. 4D printing takes the same technologies of 3D printing, but with a slight change, objects printed in the fourth ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago recently invented a 4D-printed living material that could be a game-changer for organ and tissue regeneration. UChicago researcher conducts experiments on a ...

Despite the prevalence of synthetic materials across different industries and scientific fields, most are developed to serve a limited set of functions. To address this inflexibility, researchers at ...

Marc del Pozo Puig of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) has created a new 'smart ink' for use in 4D printing. 4D printing uses 3D printing to create objects capable of rearranging ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Compared to creating static objects with 3D printing, 4D printing systems add time as the fourth dimension to 3D printing: 4D printing allows a 3D printed structure to change its ...

With possible applications in information encryption and adaptive camouflage, the material is a programmable hydrogel film, the appearance, texture and mechanical response of whic ...
