Researchers introduced a novel method for fabricating functional flat-to-shape objects using a computer-controlled sewing machine. The team's method uses the sewing machine to stitch pockets between ...

Using 3D printed struts and cables, the first 3D printed objects that can compress to compact size and expand to full size have been created. This breakthrough has implications for large structures ...

While previous studies of the brain suggest that processing of objects and places occurs in very different locations, a research team has now found that they are closely related, and in fact, a major ...
