When a tall building needs to be renovated or repaired, cranes and scaffolding are the typical solution — but one group of researchers wonders whether this problem couldn’t be solved in a more ...

In a groundbreaking fusion of technology and environmental consciousness, researchers and innovators have in developing a revolutionary system of drones capable of 3D printing structures while in ...

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 ...

A team of storm chasers and scientists made history by successfully flying a 3D-printed drone into a tornado, collecting real-time data that could revolutionize severe weather research and forecasting ...

Researchers have taken bees as a model to develop a swarm of cooperative, 3D-printing drones. Under human control, these flying robots work as a team to print 3D materials for building or repairing ...

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, ...

China's People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is testing a system aided by 3D printing and drone deliveries to help the forces repair their equipment in remote locations or during wartime. The PLA is ...

There's a major obstacle to the Pentagon’s new effort to manufacture thousands of small drones: China dominates the market for consumer-drone parts, which is awkward since the point is to deter China.
