The parts were made by researchers with as little as 5% up to 100% Martian regolith, a black powdery substance meant to mimic the rocky, inorganic material found on the surface of the red planet. While the parts with 5% Martian regolith were strong, the 100% regolith parts proved brittle and cracked easily. Still, even high-Martian content materials would be useful in making coatings to protect equipment from rust or radiation damage.

But now, scientists have developed flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer which can be programmed to self-morph into complex shapes. In the future, this technique could be used to make furniture or other wooden products that could be shipped flat to a destination and then dried to form the desired final shape.

Although well-studied and extensively researched, the mechanism of droplet splashing after impingement still remains unclear. Now, scientists have proposed a new model that quantitatively predicts the splashing conditions in addition to the number of fingers and the size of the ejected secondary droplets for smooth and rough surfaces, deepening our insights into the phenomenon.
