Ordinarily, if you're building something, you don't want the materials to buckle under pressure. In a new Harvard University-designed system, however, that buckling action allows flat-packed objects ...

No, it’s not an optical illusion. These flat objects are actually shifting into full 3D objects. In new research that we saw on DesignTAXI, Harvard University researchers have created a whole new kind ...

Wood shavings have been turned into 3D printer ink to make objects that start off as damp, flat sheets and then twist and warp into shape as they dry. This method of 3D printing could make wood sturdy ...

3-D printers have been around since the 1980s, but we are still far from maximizing their potential. One active area of research is 'self-actuating' objects: flat materials that transform themselves ...

Sure, flat-pack furniture is inexpensive and easy to transport, but when you open the box the first question almost everyone asks is, “Wouldn't it be great if it would assemble itself?” You could get ...

A new video by a visual artist starts out with some ordinary items on a table, but when a hand appears and tilts what looks like a red cup, your mind will be blown. The artist uses an "anamorphic ...

The future of imaging extremely small objects may come down to doughnut-shaped beams of light, according to a study from researchers at JILA and the Department of Physics. The study explored the ...

Hold Shift + Left click and drag to make a small circle, give the circle a gradient of your choice. The circle is enlarged to make it more visible, but the actual circle is much smaller. Hold Alt + ...

The passion project from Flat Earth Games is a space-trading simulator that does a heck of a lot more than it says on the tin. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes to get you as ...
