Engineers have developed a scalable soft surface that can continuously reshape itself to mimic objects in nature. Relying on electromagnetic actuation, mechanical modeling and machine learning to form ...

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

Flat materials that can morph into three-dimensional shapes have potential applications in architecture, medicine, robotics, space travel, and much more. But programming these shape changes requires ...

Tactile display capable of reproducing 3d shapes and textures on flat surfaces for various applications. Immersive applications such as information delivery for the visually impaired, vehicle UI, ...

For similar 2D and 3D shapes, there is a relationship between the length scale factor and the area, surface area or volume of the enlarged shapes. Areas increase by a factor equivalent to the length ...

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