IISc researchers recycle fishing nets into 3D printing filament by introducing a chemical cross-linker (melamine) into the ...

Plastic waste is a big problem in our world today. It's important for makers who use 3D printing technology (which generates plastic objects) to consider the waste hierarchy paradigm. Here's the thing ...

VALPARAISO — Tubes filled with multicolored plastic pellets fill the shelf in Adam Johnson's kitchen. A large motor is perched on a table by the back door and, across from it, sits a peculiar metal ...
