A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden ...

Plants don't just grow, they build. From towering trees to delicate flowers, complex plant shapes are sculpted with remarkable precision. Now a study by biologists and biophysicists at Université de ...

3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object. The process usually wastes a lot of ...

Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink. The researchers ...

The ancient art of origami is well known for transforming sheets of paper and other foldable materials into complex 3D shapes. But now, chemical engineers have extended the centuries-old practice to ...

In the core of a knitting machine or at the tips of a skilled knitter’s needles, a strand of fiber can be transformed into anything from a delicate scarf to a bulletproof vest. But different knitting ...

Initially utilized in the biomedical sector for crafting pre-surgical visualization models and molds for tools, 3DP has evolved to enable the production of tissue engineering scaffolds, tissue analogs ...

Complex items require a lot of 2D layers to be laid down during the 3D printing process; therefore, this procedure usually takes a long time. The technique typically results in significant material ...
