A new review of research published between 2020 and 2026 identifies digital tools, additive manufacturing, and resource recovery as central pillars in the move toward a sustainable circular economy. The analysis, appearing in the International Journal of Services and Operations Management, draws on the academic literature to map where the field is heading. It also stresses that stronger collaborat…
Researchers have created tiny 3D-printed resin pillars that steer light rather than filtering it, which could eventually make night photos on smartphones less grainy. The technology is still far from reaching actual phones, as it remains in early research stages.

Researchers at NTU Singapore have developed a new class of light-activated compounds that could make 3D printing of advanced biomaterials safer and more versatile. The compounds are described as nontoxic, which addresses a key concern in current printing processes that often rely on harsh chemicals. Beyond 3D printing, the team suggests these compounds could find use in cosmetics and medicine, bro…
