Researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D materials to transform into complex 3D shapes. University of Texas at Arlington researchers have developed a technique that programs 2D ...

An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

What if a complex material could reshape itself in response to a simple chemical signal? A team of physicists from the University of Vienna and the University of Edinburgh has shown that even small ...

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 ...

A new prototype of a knitting machine creates solid, knitted shapes, adding stitches in any direction—forward, backward and ...

Flat-pack furniture is commonplace, and flat-pack pasta might be one day too. Wen Wang of Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania and her colleagues have developed edible 2D pasta that swells into ...

The new technique enables the generation of sharper, more lifelike 3D shapes — like these robotic bees — without the need to retrain or finetune a generative AI model. CAMBRIDGE, MA – Creating ...
