Studying one of the simplest animals, Stanford's Prakash Lab uncovered how it folds itself into complex shapes—revealing new ...

Turn photos into 3D with Meta's SAM 3D, using SAM 2 masks and Gaussian splatting, so you can build assets quickly for ...

But that’s nothing compared with PSR J2322-2650b, an object the mass of Jupiter studied recently by the James Webb Space Telescope. This planet’s equatorial diameter is about 38 percent wider than its ...

Abstract: Shape control involves deforming objects to achieve a desired shape. One of the main challenges of this task is to define a suitable control reference, especially when 3D objects that lack ...

A team of researchers from the Korean Institute of Science and Technology has created a soft octopus-inspired robot. According to its developers, the aptly named OCTOID is a soft robot that leverages ...

A distant visitor from the depths of interstellar space has captured the imagination of scientists and stargazers alike. Known as 3I/ATLAS, the mysterious object has displayed a combination of ...

We take our understanding of where we are for granted, until we lose it. When we get lost in nature or a new city, our eyes and brains kick into gear, seeking familiar objects that tell us where we ...

Astronomers have been racing to get a better look at 3I/ATLAS, a mysterious object screaming into our solar system from far beyond. Now, as the BBC reports, new observations by the Gemini South ...

This set highlights diversity in both shape and theme. On the left, curved petal-like forms come together in a radial design with contrasting colors. In the center, a custom phone case shows a playful ...

Imagine a ball bouncing down a flight of stairs. Now think about a cascade of water flowing down those same stairs. The ball and the water behave very differently, and it turns out that your brain has ...

Abstract: The existing mapping strategy based on Lidar and camera cannot support transparent object avoidance that is hard to recognize. To overcome this, we present a real-time and reliable detection ...
