Using a new algorithmic model, the mathematicians examined what one can do using shapes that follow these new rules. Tiles ...

Soft cells’ — shapes with rounded corners and pointed tips that fit together on a plane — feature in onions, molluscs and ...

Researchers created a sub-1mm robot using kirigami that transforms from a flat hexagon into 3D shapes and moves with an ...

With 3D nanoprinting, we can make almost any shape we want. We can control the particle shape very carefully, and this particular shape has been predicted by simulations to form very interesting ...

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

In an experiment that sounds about as safe as bobbing for fries, ESA carried out the first-ever 3D metal printing in space ...

MIT spinoff 3D prints architectural glass bricks. Evenline envisions that 3D printable glass masonry could be reused many ...

Mathematicians have long studied how shapes can fit together to cover surfaces without gaps. However, their typical approach ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls.

Researchers at Cornell University have developed tiny robots, less than 1 millimeter in size, that can fold into 3D shapes ...

A team of MIT engineers has invented recyclable glass bricks that can withstand similar pressures as standard concrete blocks ...

APL and CurifyLabs use 3D printing for medicine administration - creating precise doses for children and critically ill ...
