Linear objects like pieces of chalk make for clean, hard-lined designs, while something like pasta encourages looser, messier tableaus. Many carpets make clever use of depth.

What are 3D printed objects made out of? This video explores the materials used in 3D printing, providing insight into the different types of filaments and their applications. #3D #3DAnimation ...

Grilled hamburgers turn out better when they're shaped by hand, but it's no small feat to turn pounds of ground meat into semi-consistent patties. Slashfood recommends reaching for a few of these ...

By mimicking the way orchids, calla lilies and other plants bend and twist, scientists have created shape-shifting "4D-printed" structures that they say could one day help heal wounds and be used ...

The volunteers were able to make out those shapes and then relay them back to the researchers. The scientists liken this technique to tactile stimulation, ...

In a new Harvard University-designed system, however, that buckling action allows flat-packed objects to be twisted into useful three-dimensional forms. SUBSCRIBE LOG IN ...

The human and non-human primate brain is remarkable in recognizing partially hidden objects. A study, conducted during a shape recognition task, shows as more of the shape is hidden, a brain area ...

This phenomenon and the resulting forces are used in many mechanical actuating systems, for example in generators or hydraulic pumps. However, it has not been possible to use this shape-memory effect ...

Anna: Objects are made out of materials. And there are lots of examples around this garden. There's metal. Wood. Stone. And a lot of glass. This is cork, it's a type of wood.
