The furniture of the future could be made from nothing more than two long strands of yarn. A prototype manufacturing machine developed at Carnegie Mellon University is transforming traditional textile ...

A new materials technique has taken cues from Grandma's yarn bag and cutting-edge technology, and it could see us 'solid knitting' whole furniture sets, as well as the fabrics that cover them. What's ...

A new fabrication technique from the Robotics Institute called solid knitting could one day knit everyday items like footwear or furniture. Right now, the recently demonstrated prototype machine can ...

While early scientists and inventors famously underestimated the value of radar, through the lens of history we can see how useful it became. Even though radar uses electromagnetic waves to detect ...

Researchers have created incredible "magnetic slime" robots that have been compared to the eponymous substance from 1997 sci-fi comedy "Flubber." The dark, magnetic slime is capable of navigating ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...

Established processes for digital light manufacturing print objects that are made from materials called photopolymers and use one of two main configurations. In the first, light patterns are projected ...
