(Nanowerk News) Most conventional microfluidic devices are fabricated in inherently planar, block-like devices that can't be changed once fabricated. In contrast, an important feature of naturally ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
