A gray powder that looks like ash can become something closer to stone when hit with the right beam of light. Engineers have ...

Engineering has spent decades pushing limits in two directions: building structures that grow larger every year and shrinking ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

What if construction materials could be put together and taken apart as easily as LEGO bricks? Such reconfigurable masonry would be disassembled at the end of a building’s lifetime and reassembled ...

Improvements in three-dimensional (3D) scanning have enabled quick and accurate scanning of 3D objects, including cultural heritage objects, as 3D point cloud data. However, conventional ...

A research team from Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University has developed a prototype knitting machine that can build arbitrarily rigid three-dimensional structures by layering stitches ...

A research team from the Australian University of Wollongong (UOW), in cooperation with Luyten 3D, a 3D concrete printing company, has developed an underwater concrete 3D printing process. This allows ...
