Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a diameter of only about 6 nm, and they are made of a protein called actin. Intermediate filaments, as their name suggests, are mid-sized, with a ...

A plasma instability has been photographed for the first time, showcasing electron beams forming spaghetti-like filaments.

Advances in filaments for FDM 3D printers have come in leaps and bounds over the past few years, and carbon fibre (CF) reinforced filament is becoming a common sight. Robotics extraordinaire ...

That’s exactly what [Jay Hamlin] did when he built a digital clock based on LED filaments. The heart of the project consists of orange LED filaments similar to the ones used in vintage-style LED ...

Galaxies don't float around at random. They line up along strands of cosmic filaments, sometimes stretching millions of light ...

Other filaments can do that without taking away from your print quality. Each one has its own unique features, so it’s worth checking them out if you want to take your 3D printing to the next level.

Dark matter, though invisible, weaves a vast cosmic web that binds galaxies together. For the first time, astronomers have ...

For the first time, scientists have 'photographed' a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into ...
