August, for example, is orange, quite long and evenly shaped, while September is light blue and bends round a corner.

A class of synthetic soft materials called liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) can change shape in response to heat, similar to ...

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.

In 2025, AI and 3D scanning technologies will continue to shape the future of the manufacturing sector, across vital verticals like healthcare and within the classrooms where the future of the ...

From stars to needles to amorphous globs, scientists are demystifying a snowflake’s complex construction — showing how factors such as temperature can influence their shape. Some researchers ...

The world’s first fully 3D-printed microscope can be made in a few hours and for a fraction of the cost of traditional ones. “It’s not just enabling, it’s empowering,” says Gail ...
