Origami has become known as a miracle technique for designers. Elegant compliant mechanisms can leverage the material properties of a single geometry in ways that are sometimes stronger than those of ...

The curious minds at ColdFusion show scientists 3D printing a human heart for the first time. This matters because it represents a groundbreaking step toward regenerative medicine and organ ...

Over the last decade, advances in 3D printing have unlocked new possibilities for bioengineers to build heart tissues and structures. Their goals include creating better in vitro platforms for ...

Discover how St. Elizabeth is transforming heart surgery with 3D 4K endoscopy—offering safer, less invasive procedures and faster recovery. Heart surgery is rapidly changing and St. Elizabeth ...

Researchers used their new technique to fold a glass bar (a), create an optical resonator (b) to achieve helical bending (c) and to create a table with a parabolic reflector (middle, lower row).

In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers have developed a new class of ceramic structures that can bend under pressure -- without breaking. In a ...

Theodore Evans was born on a Thursday. Three days later, on Dec. 8, 2024, as the family prepared to go home from Lakeview Hospital in Covington, Veronica Evans handed her son off to a nurse for his ...

Every year, more than 5 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with heart valve disease, but this condition has no effective long-term treatment. When a person's heart valve is severely damaged by a ...

Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional ...
