CAD, or computer-aided design, has transformed design in many fields, allowing simulation and numerical data modeling in industries such as architecture, engineering, construction, product design and ...

Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

The single-stranded genetic material RNA is best known for guiding the assembly of proteins in our cells and carrying the genetic code for viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and HIV. But 40 years ago, scientists ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a new method to 3D-print flat composite structures ...

Concrete 3D printing reduces both time and cost by eliminating traditional formwork, the temporary mold for casting. Yet most of today's systems rely on extrusion-based methods, which deposit material ...

How can components be designed for an optimal balance of minimal weight and maximum robustness? This is a challenge faced by many industries, from medical device manufacturing to the automotive and ...

Lab-grown tissues need oxygen & nutrients to thrive. This study used computer models to see how well these reach cells within ...

You may not know that you’re looking at the future when you see the Voxel Cloud. It’s sort of strange and different, like a movie made by Tim Burton. But it’s also what the future could look like.

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...
