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 ...

Plants don't just grow, they build. From towering trees to delicate flowers, complex plant shapes are sculpted with ...

Faces - A face is a flat surface on a 3D shape. For example a cube has 6 faces. Edges - An edge is where two faces meet. For example a cube has 12 edges. Vertices - A vertex is a corner where ...

This is a still from an animation showing asteroid 2024 YR4 as it passes by Earth and heads toward its potential impact with the Moon. This 3D shape of the asteroid was determined from data obtained ...

The net of a 3D shape is what it looks like if it is opened out flat. There are many types of nets for the different 3D shapes. A net is made from polygons that can be folded and joined ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could change how we design aircraft and car components. Researchers at NIST ...

D food printing means your snack could change shape, colour, flavour or texture over time, creating a dynamic eating ...

Remember the scene in Iron Man 2 where Tony Stark rediscovers a new element and is handling virtual 3D holographic elements ...

A team of Penn State researchers has used a new 3D-printing method to produce a complex metal build that was once only ...

The world’s largest 3D-printed community is taking shape in Texas, perfecting a process that the developer says is a cheaper, quicker and less wasteful option to the traditional homebuilding ...
