At first glance, few materials would seem to have less in common than metals and textiles. And yet, by manufacturing nickel-titanium alloys as a highly deformable, interwoven material, more similar to ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...

Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

Launching large, rigid satellite dishes into orbit is an expensive and energy-hungry task. But what if those massive structures could start out flat—and then unfold or “grow” into their curved shapes ...

High-speed 3D printing has just gotten a lot faster. Researchers from Tsinghua University in China have developed a new high-speed printing technology capable of creating complex millimeter-scale ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

This is a completely new chapter for construction and manufacturing. Printing underwater fundamentally changes how we ...

With the assistance of rotatable mandrel and slit projection systems, PLLP can rapidly achieve the manufacturing of single-layer or multi-layer multi-material structures. A novel 3D printing ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Shamrock Island, located about two miles off Mustang Island in Corpus Christi Bay, is getting a much-needed boost thanks to a coastal restoration project to protect its fragile ...
