That's exactly what researchers in Germany set out to do, making use of "acoustic holograms" to form distinct 3D shapes out of particles suspended in water — all in "one shot," said study lead ...

While some snowflake shapes may resemble one another, no journey through the air is the same. “We are like snowflakes,” said Garrett.

Tactile display capable of reproducing 3d shapes and textures on flat surfaces for various applications. Immersive applications such as information delivery for the visually impaired, vehicle UI ...

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.

Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink. The ...

For instance, a 3D-printed model of a child’s heart enables surgeons to simulate complex surgeries. This approach can lead to shorter operating times, fewer complications, and lower costs.
