MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...

XREAL is wrapping up 2025 with the launch of a new entry-level AR glasses model, the XREAL 1S. It sits below the more expensive XREAL One Pro (announced in July) in the lineup and is the first in the ...

A new mathematical equation describes the distribution of different fragment sizes when an object breaks. Remarkably, the distribution is the same for everything from bubbles to spaghetti. When you ...

A dropped plate, a smashed sugar cube and a broken drinking glass all seem to follow the same law of physics when it comes to how many fragments of a given size they will shatter into. For several ...

From virtual safety fences that protect warehouse workers to pharmaceutical simulations that reduce batch variability, manufacturers are already seeing measurable improvements in safety, efficiency ...

In January, a team led by Jim Schuck, professor of mechanical engineering at Columbia Engineering, developed a method for creating entangled photon pairs, a critical component of emerging quantum ...

In associate professor Mauro Tambasco's lab, researchers at all levels work together to develop innovative approaches to fighting cancer. By creating 3D models of tumors, the lab can better study the ...

Turning a boring 2D photo into a more dynamic, 3D-like viewing experience might sound impossible. But you can do it right from your phone running iOS 26, thanks to Apple's new Spatial Scenes. Apple's ...

If you miss the donut storms the first go around, you'll need to survive until the next Storm Circle closes. You can avoid all of the donuts falling from the sky and safely pick up what you've already ...

Researchers are exploring MXenes, 2D materials that could transform air into ammonia for cleaner fertilizers and fuels. Their atomic structures can be tuned to optimize performance, making them ...

If you find 3D printers to be just a little too coldly futuristic, this contraption might be more to your liking. Scientists from Cornell University have created a machine that knits solid 3D objects ...

Demand in America for illegal drugs such as fentanyl and cocaine fuels sophisticated systems for smuggling them in. Traffickers deploy everything from fast-moving fiberglass boats to stealthy ...
