Insects that tuck away their wings using origami creases have inspired foldable structures for drones and solar panels that ...

Researchers develop a new 3D-printing method to create ultra-thin magnetic films that bring origami-based soft robots to life ...

Five 3D‑printed homes are rising in Yuba County. Developer 4Dify says Sacramento could be the next market to try the tech.

We’ve often thought that 3D printers make excellent school projects. No matter what a student’s interests are: art, software, electronics, robotics, chemistry, or physics, there’s something for ...

Researchers have developed a magnetically controlled polymer ‘Chinese lantern’ that can transform into over a dozen curved 3D shapes when compressed or twisted, an advance with potential applications ...

TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Construction on the new Smith County Courthouse is progressing rapidly, with advanced technology helping workers build what will become the centerpiece of downtown Tyler. The ...

3D printing and bioprinting may enhance breast reconstruction by reducing risks like infection and implant malposition, offering safer and more personalized options. Empowering patients with choices ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...
