At last, a use for that industrial knitting machine you bought at a yard sale! Carnegie Mellon researchers have created a method that generates knitting patterns for arbitrary 3D shapes, opening the ...

An AI method enables the generation of sharp, high-quality 3D shapes that are closer to the quality of the best 2D image models. Previous approaches typically generated blurry or cartoonish 3D shapes.

With atomic stenciling, researchers have made a variety of patterned patchy nanoparticles with new shapes and properties. Illustration by Maayan Harel. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Inspired by an artist’s ...

Researchers developed a method to pattern gold nanoparticles with atomic precision, creating patchy particles with new shapes and functions for advanced technologies. (Nanowerk News) Inspired by an ...

A chair can still look like a chair even when its surface is reduced to a sparse cloud of points. Humans are remarkably good ...

3D shapes aren’t just geometry—they’re a gateway to building spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and early STEM confidence.
