As traditional chip miniaturization slows, researchers have found a way to pack more computing power into the same space by stacking silicon circuits in multiple layers. The new process uses ...

I have opportunities to handle CAD data at work, but the task of converting STEP files to STL or OBJ was quietly tedious. Some formats cannot be converted by the CAD software used in the office, and ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, one of the most extensive surveys of the cosmos ever conducted, finished all observations for its originally planned 3D map of the universe. Scientists at UC ...

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has successfully completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever made, a major milestone in understanding the force driving cosmic ...

Astronomers have just completed the largest high-resolution three-dimensional map of the universe, including more than 47 million galaxies and other massive objects. The map could help solve the ...

Since March, scientists have been keeping their eyes peeled as the Dark Energy Spectroscopy Instrument (DESI) started chipping away at the final tile of the largest 3D map of the universe to date. And ...

Change is the theme of the 2026 STL 100, the 11th annual edition of this list — though not in the obvious sense of the term. Iwashi (Japanese sardine) served on brioche toast, Shiso, winter squash, ...

As a general rule, humans don’t see well in the dark. Perhaps that’s not groundbreaking news to you; depending on how you define “dark,” it might even be tautological. But did you know that, contrary ...

Scientists have found a promising new way to manufacture one of industry’s toughest materials—tungsten carbide–cobalt—using advanced 3D printing. Normally, producing this ultra-hard material requires ...
