A new materials technique has taken cues from Grandma's yarn bag and cutting-edge technology, and it could see us 'solid knitting' whole furniture sets, as well as the fabrics that cover them. What's ...

A research team from Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University has developed a prototype knitting machine that can build arbitrarily rigid three-dimensional structures by layering stitches ...

When you think of 3D printing, you probably imagine a structure being created layer by layer, from the bottom up. Now, researchers from Switzerland's Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) ...

Makerbot is in the gutter, 3D Systems and Stratasys stock is only a shadow of their 2014 glory, but this is the best year 3D printing has ever had. Machines are now good and cheap, there’s a variety ...

It's always fascinating to see that scientists still want -- and sometimes succeed -- to challenge an Einstein's theory. This time, physicists from the U.K. and Switzerland have shown that a laser can ...

As is well known, solid oxygen appears in three modifications: α(below 23.5° K.); β(23.5°–43.5° K.); and γ(43.5° K. and melting point). In connexion with our investigations on the structure of ...
