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 ...

Whilst 3D printing continues to grow in popularity, some scientists are already looking at the next step – how to make their objects transform from one shape to another using 4D printing. Essentially, ...

Exploration of the fourth dimension, well-known in literature and theoretical physics, became a realistic theme only a few years ago. This leap was made when the first object was printed using 4D ...

Gutenberg’s printing press revolutionized the way the written word was replicated, bringing two-dimensional printing into the world and so vastly increasing accessibility of information. From that ...

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 ...
