Researchers create 3-D beating heart

Scientists have now found a way to create 3-D heart tissue that beats in synchronized harmony that will lead to better understanding of cardiac health and improved treatments.

Researchers design one of the strongest, lightest materials known

Porous, 3-D forms of graphene developed at MIT can be 10 times as strong as steel but much lighter.

Supercomputer comes up with profile of dark matter

In the search for the mysterious dark matter, physicists have used elaborate computer calculations to come up with an outline of the particles of this unknown form of matter.

3D Printed Organ-On-a-Chip May Replace Animal Testing

Since these chips can mimic the microarchitecture and functions of lungs, hearts, and intestines, they may eliminate the need for living subjects.

Acoustic holograms

Researchers can create complex patterns in air and water using ultrasonic waves. By placing 3D printed plates in front of speakers, they can levitate water droplets and propel small objects.

3D map to reveal Milky Way in unprecedented detail

The European Space Agency is set to unveil a three-dimensional map of a billion stars in our galaxy that is 1,000 times more complete than anything existing today.

3-D printed structures "remember" their shapes

Even after being stretched, twisted, and bent at extreme angles, the structures sprang back to their original forms within seconds of being heated to a certain temperature “sweet spot.”

Astronomers map 1.2 million galaxies in colossal 3D image

That's galaxies, not stars. After spending a decade measuring the stars, scientists just released a 3D map spanning 1.2 million galaxies.

New Robust Technique Enables 3D Imaging of Live Cells Without Staining

Professor YongKeun Park of the Physics Department at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and his research team have developed a powerful method for 3D imaging of live cells without staining.

A 3-D Material that Folds, Bends and Shrinks on its Own

Harvard researchers have designed a new type of foldable material that is versatile, tunable and self actuated. It can change size, volume and shape; it can fold flat to withstand the weight of an elephant without breaking, and pop right back up to prepare for the next task.

Ultrathin Semiconductor Heterostructures for New Technological Applications

University of Washington scientists have successfully combined two different ultrathin semiconductors — each just one layer of atoms thick and roughly 100,000 times thinner than a human hair — to make a new two-dimensional heterostructure with potential uses in clean energy and optically-active electronics.

Scientists Just 3D Printed a Transplantable Human Ear

Scientists have developed an innovative 3D bioprinter capable of generating replacement tissue that's strong enough to withstand transplantation. To show its power, the scientists printed a jaw bone, muscle, and cartilage structures, as well as a stunningly accurate human ear.

World's Smallest 3D Lattice Is Unbelievably Strong

Nanotechnology, the ability to manipulate structures on an atomic level, has the potential to revolutionize our world.

It took 2 decades to make this gyroidal superconductor

In an effort to eliminate the cooling required for superconductivity, scientists have created a superconductor with a porous, 3D gyroidal structure.
