Drawing inspiration from how plants change shape in response to environmental stimuli, Harvard scientists from the Wyss Institute and John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have ...

4D, most known in science fiction and theoretical physics, is being actualized by the 4D printing technology developed at MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab. This breakthrough enhances conventional 3D printing ...

We are said that the real world in which humans live is present in three dimensions or four dimensions. "Three-dimensional" is a relatively easy-to-understand concept for people who live while ...

Printed polymers that change shape once in a predefined way when heated? This is now possible thanks to a 4D printing technology developed in the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Programmable ...

For those new to 3D, there are so many things to learn, but one of the most complex can be animation. Even if an artist has a ...

Marc ten Bosch’s side project 4D Toys is a unique physics-based toy box using the game engine he created for Miegakure, a groundbreaking 4D puzzle-platformer. Launched on June 2nd for SteamVR and iOS, ...

A new 4D-printing technique that creates complex structures in minutes could be used to make temperature-activated cardiac stents, drug capsules and flat-pack furniture. Zhen Ding at the Singapore ...

If you’re a fan of the Big Bang Theory, you may remember how Howard and Raj spent three hours printing a 25 cent whistle in a 3D printer. More of a sci-fi fan? Then, you likely watched in Jurassic ...

Unlike the previous three-dimensional printing technique in which solid objects are printed, four-dimensional printing adds time as the fourth dimension. A 4D-printed object is not passive; on the ...
