The boundary between biology and technology blurs further and further as researchers discover more and more parallels between the two. Today they have found that it’s relatively simple to essentially ...

A new mathematical tool shows that altering one of two asymmetries in the properties of single cells controls how they organize into folded, biological shapes, and explains how these shapes are ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...

Forget your regular ol’ 3D printer. Why not try using sound waves to form a 3D object? That’s exactly what researchers in Germany set out to do, making use of “acoustic holograms” to form distinct 3D ...

Are you fond of drawing some random doodles? Have you ever imagined some magic tricks that would transform your boring 2D picture into a realistic 3D model? Well then, turning a 2D shape into a 3D ...

The dream of 3D printing buildings is not a new one and, typically, it’s not a pretty one either. However, the visionaries at Branch Technology, a startup founded by architects in Chattanooga, ...

The Formlabs Form 1+ 3D printer ($3,299) is elegant in its simplicity, and more capable of producing accurate models with detailed intricacy than any other 3D printer I’ve reviewed. This printer also ...
