For the first time, researchers have assembled a complete digital picture of the world’s built environment, mapping every ...

A first-ever 3D model of the Rano Raraku quarry lets anyone examine Easter Island’s iconic statue workshop in vivid detail.

With the GlobalBuildingAtlas, a research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has created the first ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Can you drill a hole in a cube that an identical cube could fall through? Prince Rupert of the Rhine first asked this question in the 17th century, and he soon found out the answer is yes. One can ...

After more than three centuries, a geometry problem that originated with a royal bet has been solved. Imagine you’re holding two equal-size dice. Is it possible to bore a tunnel through one die that’s ...

Last month, we embarked on a journey into the potential and possibilities that 3D-printed press brake tools offer (see Figure 1). We learned about common filament types and the basic 3D printing ...

Abstract: In recent years, with the rapid growth number of multi-modal 3D shapes, it has become increasingly important to efficiently recognize a vast number of unlabeled multi-modal 3D shapes through ...

Abstract: The segmentation of 3D shapes is a critical aspect of shape analysis. However, most existing methods for 3D shape segmentation treat each face of the original mesh model with equal ...

In this video, I share a simplified approach to drawing human anatomy by breaking it down into basic geometric shapes. The method focuses on proportion, structure, and easy-to-understand forms to help ...

University of Queensland researchers have developed an affordable, open-source DNA measurement tool that can be built using a home 3D printer. The Do-It-Yourself Nucleic Acid Fluorometer—DIYNAFLUOR—is ...
