Tanja Weil (@mpip-mainz.mpg.de) pip -mainz.mpg.de presented her work on peptide-based nanostructures and synthetic–living systems. She discussed how materials can form in and around cells and enable metabolic communication. #3DMM2O #BioMaterials

Day 3 of the #3DMM2O Conference 2026🚀 Erika Tsingos from @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social discussed computational models that link molecular processes to cell behavior and tissue formation. #3DMM2O #ComputationalBiology

✨ A special evening highlight The lecture hall transformed into a beautiful, festive setting for our conference dinner - a great evening of conversations, exchange, and strengthening connections within the community. #3DMM2O #3DPrinting #AdditiveManufacturing #ConferenceDinner

🏹 Science Meets Social In the afternoon, participants explored the monastery or tried archery - a great setting for informal discussions and networking. #3DMM2O #Conference #Networking

Understanding Materials at the Atomic Scale🔬 Saeed Amirjalayer from @uniheidelberg.bsky.social discussed atomistic simulations of functional materials, as well as how intermolecular interactions and confinement influence their dynamic behavior. #3DMM2O #MaterialsScience

🚀 Day 2 of the 3DMM2O Conference 2026! Christoph Scheurer (@fhi-mpg.bsky.social ) presented how AI-driven experiment planning and automation are advancing materials research and enabling self-driving laboratories. #3DMM2O #AIinScience

💡 Rethinking Inverse Design In the evening keynote, Steven G. Johnson (MIT) discussed how allowing "unphysical" models during optimization can lead to improved solutions that can then be translated back into physically realizable designs. #3DMM2O #InverseDesign

Capturing Materials in Motion🚀 Vikram Deshpande (University of Cambridge) presented advances in high-speed X-ray tomography. This technology enables 4D imaging of dynamic processes in complex 3D-printed structures. #3DMM2O #XRay #3DPrinting

Martin Wegener from @kit.edu opened the conference by sharing his insights on manufacturable 3D metamaterials. His work demonstrates how carefully designed microstructures can achieve properties far beyond those of their base materials. #3DMM2O #Metamaterials

Day 1 of the Future 3D Additive Manufacturing - 3DMM2O Conference 2026! 🚀 The conference at Schöntal Monastery began today, bringing together researchers in three areas: theory, computation, and the design of 3D materials. Stay tuned for today's highlights! #3DMM2O

🚀 Getting ready for the #3DMM2O Conference 2026 We had already arrived at the beautiful Schöntal Monastery and completed all preparations for the days ahead. Participants arrived in the afternoon, and the evening began with an informal get-together to bring the community together. 🙌

Flexible platinum temperature sensors can now be inkjet-printed onto flexible polyimide, creating lightweight, bendable alternatives to conventional devices. They show a stable linear response from 20–80 °C and remain robust after 400 bending cycles. 🚀 https://doi.org/10.1002/adem.202501740

🚀 New insights into two-step absorption–based 3D laser nanoprinting reveal how photoinitiator design influences printing performance. The results support more energy-efficient and accessible micro- and nanofabrication. 🔗 https://doi.org/10.1002/cptc.202500337 #3DMM2O

Could light be the future of computing? 💡 In our new Explain Like I’m Five video, Erik Jung from the @uniheidelberg.bsky.social explains his research on photonic chips that process information using light instead of electricity. Watch the full video👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iuH... #ELI5 #3DMM2O

A fully printed origami thermoelectric generator achieved a record power density by converting low-grade waste heat into electricity. It delivers about twice the performance of previously reported printed origami TEGs. 🚀 👉 doi.org/10.1038/s414... #3DMM2O #MaterialsScience
