When looking at a house, garage, store building or factory, or any of the other thousands of structures we live, work, and play in, look for the simple shapes. Look at the front of a house, and you ...

A research project undertaken at MIT and Singapore University of Technology and Design succeeded in developing 3D-printed structures that can be physically manipulated in extreme ways and then spring ...

The Protein Structure Initiative (PSI), a national program aimed at determining the three-dimensional shapes of a wide range of proteins, has now determined more than 1,000 different structures. These ...

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 ...

We will discover how forces impact the stability of triangles and quadrilaterals. Using found materials, we will discover how forces impact the stability of triangles and quadrilaterals. Created by ...

Engineers from MIT and Singapore University of Technology and Design are using an optical process to print three-dimensional structures that “remember” their original shapes. Even after being ...

Using a new technique known as 4D printing, researchers can print out dynamic 3D structures capable of changing their shapes over time. Such 4D-printed items could one day be used in everything from ...
