Because it's costly and cumbersome to transport large structures such as satellite dishes into space, aerospace Ph.D. student ...

Prince Rupert of the Rhine first asked this question in the 17th century, and he soon found out the answer is yes. Later, ...

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.

Mathematician Grigori Perelman solved the Poincaré conjecture, and then rejected the $1 million prize that came with it.

In the world of optics, tiny structures called microcavities—often no wider than a human hair—play a crucial role in ...

Research led by the University of Auckland has cast light on the evolutionary origins of one of nature's first motors, which ...

Now, research from Northwestern Engineering’s Vadim Backman reveals a second “language” of life: the “geometric code” embedded in the genome’s physical shape. Like a blueprint for making living ...

Existing 3D scene reconstructions require a cumbersome process of precisely measuring physical spaces with LiDAR or 3D scanners, or correcting thousands of photos along with camera pose information. A ...

Concrete 3D printing reduces both time and cost by eliminating traditional formwork, the temporary mold for casting. Yet most ...
