Neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) have discovered how we see objects in depth. Even if computers are better than humans in chess games, they can't beat us in the field of object ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a way to manipulate objects in photos in three dimensions, allowing you to see all sides of formerly 2D objects. How is it done? Some might say ...

Scheme illustration of object identification and all-optical 3D reconstruction system. (a) A contour surface image of the object can be obtained in a single processing of the system. (b) High-contrast ...

New research could turn futuristic 3-D printers into affordable everyday items. Printers, which can produce three-dimensional objects have been available for years. However, a printing device has now ...

After five years of steady progress, scientists are now edging closer and closer to mastering real-world invisibility. Sure, researchers have already made marked strides toward making objects ...

Scientists at the University of Texas in Austin have successfully "cloaked" a three-dimensional object in free space for the first time. Unfortunately they were only able to do so for waves in the ...

Harvard's Wyss Institute found a new way to process a bioplastic that comes from chitosan so that it can be used to fabricate large, 3-D objects with complex shapes using traditional casting or ...

With most of its 137 million objects kept behind the scenes or in a faraway museum, the Smithsonian Institution is launching a new 3-D scanning and printing initiative to make more of its massive ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (KGO) -- Silicon Valley's tech geniuses have reached new heights in space. The Mountain View based company, Made in Space, built a 3-D printer for NASA and has been experimenting ...

In our modern world, eliminating plastics is inconceivable. Unfortunately, they do have disadvantages, including the formation of CO(2) in both production and combustion, depletion of fossil ...
