Researchers have created a fleet of bee-inspired flying 3D printers that build and repair structures while flying. The technology, which has been tested in the lab, could ultimately be used for ...

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, ...

One day, we may witness swarms of mechanical bees flying around independently. Sounds crazy? Scientists from the Universities of Sheffield and Sussex in the United Kingdom are working on the “Green ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Imperial College London and Empa researchers have created a fleet of bee-inspired flying 3D printers for building and repairing structures in-flight. The technology could ultimately be ...

The technology, which has been tested in the lab, could ultimately be used for manufacturing and building in difficult-to-access or dangerous locations such as tall buildings or help with ...
