Researchers at New York’s Columbia University have unveiled a method of vibrantly replicating the external and internal structure of materials such as wood using a 3D printer and specialist scanning ...

NASA's Webb Telescope, which is equipped with very advanced infrared capabilities, recently caught the glowing echo of this light. These echoes allowed astronomers to take a new, high-quality image of ...

Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to make these ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant, which bears wood grain-like patterns ...

Adding textures is a great way to experiment with giving 3D prints a different look, and [PandaN] shows off a method of adding a wood grain effect in a way that’s easy to play around with. It involves ...

Wood shavings have been turned into 3D printer ink to make objects that start off as damp, flat sheets and then twist and warp into shape as they dry. This method of 3D printing could make wood sturdy ...

The continued exploration of 3D printing has resulted in a variety of uses and materials, some of them promising huge breakthroughs in the future, and others refining the way existing projects and ...
