Scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany have developed a new 3D printing method that can use glass. The method was dubbed "liquid glass" because it consists of tiny glass nanoparticles suspended in a photopolymer binder. When exposed to light and heat, the mixture transforms and hardens into the shape specified in the settings, making 3D printing possible.
