Parked in the RIT glass hot shop, a first-of-its-kind device carries out a process sitting at the intersection of material, machine and maker. The technological marvel is the world’s first molten ...

Until now, only two ways to shape glass in a 3D printing process have been demonstrated: a fused deposition moulding approach in which soda lime glass is heated to around 1,000 °C and a manual wire ...

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 ...

The MIT Mediated Matter Group’s 3D glass printer is slowly morphing from a conceptual tool to something designers could use one day. Design’s wonder material is also one of its most common: glass.

Glass and visions of the future go hand in hand. Towering skylines of glass and steel evoke a sense of progress like nothing else. And yet, the technology itself is ancient, and how we work glass is ...

Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as enthralled with the wonders of the universe as she is. When she's not daydreaming about flying through space, she's daydreaming ...

MIT engineers have used 3D printing to create reusable glass bricks that withstand as much pressure as concrete blocks. What if construction materials could be put together, taken apart, and reused as ...

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 ...
