A new 3D printer uses light to transform gooey liquids into complex solid objects in only a matter of minutes. The printer can create objects that are smoother, more flexible and more complex than ...

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there. Reality has been far messier. For nearly two ...

The team tested mmNorm’s ability to reconstruct more than 60 objects with complex shapes, like the handle and curve of a mug. It generated reconstructions with ...

3D printing of complex objects typically takes a long time due to the printing process necessarily laying down a large number of 2D layers to build up the object. The process usually wastes a lot of ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Future Interfaces Group have come up with a novel way of letting VR users "feel" virtual surfaces, with the use of a puppet-style glove that can stop your fingers in ...

An optical manipulation technique that can control the position, orientation, and shape of microscopic samples with complex shapes has been developed by a research team led by Professor YongKeun Park ...

Previous work has focused on neuronal encoding of two-dimensional shapes. Using a new search algorithm and three-dimensional object primitives, a study in this issue identifies potential subunits of ...

Miniaturized electronics and intricate objects require a certain finesse. Researchers have looked into the development of a machine capable of these fine movements, while identifying and categorizing ...

Hackers frequently find themselves reverse-engineering or interfacing to existing hardware and devices, and when that interface needs to be a physical one, it really pays to be able to take accurate ...
