In a breakthrough that could power next-generation electronics, sensors, and energy storage devices, CMU engineers have ...

Tiny 3D devices can now be made from many materials. This method can create micro-robots, sensors & small machines with new functions.

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 ...

Researchers at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA published a step-by-step framework for determining the ...

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 ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

With the advent of cheap genetic sequencing, the world of biology has been flooded with 2D data. Now, artificial intelligence is pushing the field into three dimensions. On Thursday, Alphabet-owned AI ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...
