Barredo and team report their use of precision optical-engineering methods to sort atoms into arbitrary 3D patterns. Barredo et al. extend their previously reported method for 2D atom sorting to three ...

The fundamental benefit of 3D CAD/CAM systems is the ability to define complex component designs without the ambiguity inherent in 2D drawings. Modern visualisation techniques mean that highly ...

Two new approaches to creating 3D images using X-rays could improve screening for diseases and the study of very fast processes, as well as enable analysis of material properties and provide ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an advanced manufacturing technique with plenty of promise that requires the development of new methods for inspection and validation. The technique of dynamic micro-CT ...

Three-dimensional measurement and profilometry techniques have become essential tools in a broad range of scientific and industrial applications, from precision engineering to biomedical imaging. At ...

Researchers have developed a strategy for creating ultrahigh-resolution, complex 3D nanostructures out of various materials. Carnegie Mellon University's Yongxin (Leon) Zhao and the Chinese University ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For centuries, scientists have marveled at the brilliant and intricate structural colors found in nature, from peacock feathers to butterfly wings. These striking hues arise not ...
