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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Strange software bugs. Could benefit from extra light. No mobile device compatibility. Requires a computer. As a chronic tinkerer, I’ve always wished there was a simple, efficient, and effective way ...

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, ...
