UCLA researchers have introduced a framework for synthesizing arbitrary, spatially varying 3D point spread functions (PSFs) using diffractive processors. This approach enables unique imaging ...

3D printing has been huge for DIY makers of all stripes, and it's about to get more official with brands like Philips offering replacement printable components.

Extruder: The extruder is an essential part of a 3D printer, as it is responsible for holding the filament in place, melting it and laying it down layer by layer to form the final printed product ...

"This shows that 3D bioprinting can be useful to study cellular regeneration in crop plants," Sozzani said. Finally, the researchers studied the cellular identity of the bioprinted cells.

The library has developed a creative space called Ideas@108, with palm-sized spherical robots, 3D printers, laptops and iPads to get locals engaging with technology.
