Andrew Iams saw something strange while looking through his electron microscope. He was examining a sliver of a new aluminum ...

A new proof solves the “Kakeya conjecture” in three dimensions, opening up a new set of possibilities for mathematics, from computer science to cryptography ...

Quasicrystals, once considered impossible, were found in a 3D-printed aluminum alloy – and they make it stronger. This could change how we design aircraft and car components. Researchers at NIST ...

This is a still from an animation showing asteroid 2024 YR4 as it passes by Earth and heads toward its potential impact with the Moon. This 3D shape of the asteroid was determined from data obtained ...

The material can, for instance, be used in a 3D printer to shape the battery as you please. This opens up for a new type of ...

The net of a 3D shape is what it looks like if it is opened out flat. There are many types of nets for the different 3D shapes. A net is made from polygons that can be folded and joined ...

Astronomers have now constructed a 3D model of asteroid 2024 YR4 using observations conducted by the Gemini South telescope in Chile.

Remember the scene in Iron Man 2 where Tony Stark rediscovers a new element and is handling virtual 3D holographic elements ...

China is already testing the tech. Bricks made from lunar soil simulants are undergoing durability tests on the Tiangong ...

YR4 asteroid is thought to be hockey puck shaped and house-sized, with the asteroid, detected in December, initially thought ...

In February, engineers from Saint Vincent College, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Pennsylvania revealed ...
