Liming Chen, who will earn his PhD in mechanical engineering from Purdue in May 2024, operates a 3D microscope, which uses an optical technique called fringe projection to create a high-resolution 3D ...

A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

Scientists have built a new kind of microscope that lets them see something they haven't been able to before: exactly how heat moves through thermoelectric materials. That might sound niche, but it is ...

3D scanning and 3D printing may sound like a natural match for one another, but they don’t always play together as easily and nicely as one would hope. I’ll explain what one can expect by highlighting ...

Using off-the-shelf electronic components, a Raspberry Pi, and a 3D printer, it's possible to build your own working miniature classic Mac. Here's how. There is a lot of overlap between the maker ...

3D printing is the process of making three-dimensional objects by laying thin layers of material on top of one another. Each layer is so thin that the height is barely detectable by the human eye. In ...

For a long time, 3D printing has been predominantly male. That's changing, though, and it's for the better. James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s.

Making your own microscope slides can be fun and easy with these simple-to-follow tips — including dry and wet mounting, plus crafty alternatives. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

I'm laughing my butt off. I asked ChatGPT to make me into an action figure so I could ride the wave of the viral AI trend, and wow, did it deliver. It turned me into a rock star figurine in skin-tight ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Researchers in Purdue University’s College of Engineering are developing patented and patent-pending innovations that make 3D microscopes faster to operate and less expensive to ...
