Imagine a swarm of tiny robots, each about the size of the palm of your hand, spreading out over a wildfire-ravaged community ...
A lidar scanner has a resolution so high it can image ridges and indentations of only 1 millimetre on objects hundreds of ...
A class of synthetic soft materials called liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can change shape in response to heat, similar to ...
Kedron Elementary 1st graders brought their studies of 3D shapes to life by crafting shape robots. The Knights have been ...
Interestingly, Princeton University engineers have created innovative 3D structures from a single piece of material by combining the art of paper cutting and folding. They have developed 3D structures ...
Drawing inspiration from ancient art forms – kirigami (paper cutting) and origami (paper folding) – researchers have found a new way to create metamaterials. Artificially engineered ...
Instead of space-time’s three spatial dimensions and one of time, the physics of our world could be encoded into a set of odd geometrical shapes – and studying them may chart a new ...
In a few years from now, space stations could work like factories — thanks to advancements in 3D print technology. With these printers, anything needed in orbit could be 3D printed on the spot.
