A new materials technique has taken cues from Grandma's yarn bag and cutting-edge technology, and it could see us 'solid knitting' whole furniture sets, as well as the fabrics that cover them. What's ...

The furniture of the future could be made from nothing more than two long strands of yarn. A prototype manufacturing machine developed at Carnegie Mellon University is transforming traditional textile ...

A new fabrication technique from the Robotics Institute called solid knitting could one day knit everyday items like footwear or furniture. Right now, the recently demonstrated prototype machine can ...

Researchers have detailed the physics behind a phenomenon that allows them to create spin in liquid droplets using ultrasound waves, which concentrates solid particles suspended in the liquid. The ...

Researchers have created incredible "magnetic slime" robots that have been compared to the eponymous substance from 1997 sci-fi comedy "Flubber." The dark, magnetic slime is capable of navigating ...

One-pot recipes make preparing meals quick and easy. And one-pot 3D-printing could do the same for additive manufacturing. Now, researchers publishing in ACS Central Science have demonstrated a new ...
