Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day. But ...

3D printing is super cool, but it's also super slow -- it would take 115 days to print a detailed, multimaterial object about the size of a grapefruit. A new method allows printing with up to 8 ...

Researchers in Europe have developed a technique for obtaining accurate laser-based measurements of objects hidden behind complex scattering structures. They say that their mathematical formula, which ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Future Interfaces Group have come up with a novel way of letting VR users "feel" virtual surfaces, with the use of a puppet-style glove that can stop your fingers in ...

In the world of database architecture, the need to dynamically create complex objects conflicts with the demand for subsecond response time. Oracle's answer to this dilemma is the materialized view.

Taking advantage of molecules that switch states when exposed to particular wavelengths of light, researchers have developed a 3-D printing method that can make precise objects in a matter of minutes.

[Matthias], eminent woodworker he is, designed and built an awesome machine to make copies of just about any object imaginable. With a few scrap 2x4s, and a few bolts, screws, and skateboard bearings, ...

Researchers have set a new world record: they 3D printed complex objects with higher cellulose content than that of any other additively manufactured cellulose-based parts. To achieve this, they used ...

You say that the human brain is the most complex object in the known universe (Leader, 22 June). But it is part of the human body, which is an object, and so must be the most complex. But humans are ...
