Abstract: 3D shapes captured by scanning devices are often incomplete due to occlusion. 3D shape completion methods have been explored to tackle this limitation. However, most of these methods are ...

Most people assume that CNC machines are expensive, heavy-duty pieces of equipment meant to stay in engineering labs and workshops. However, the people at Makera are trying to break that assumption ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Can you drill a hole in a cube that an identical cube could fall through? Prince Rupert of the Rhine first asked this question in the 17th century, and he soon found out the answer is yes. One can ...

It's been 11 years since the first Destiny game, and though it's been a tumultuous time for Bungie's original IP, I have fond memories of it. While I don't believe anything after the Light and ...

Abstract: Unsupervised 3D shape clustering is emerging as a promising research topic in multimedia and computer vision field. Considering the flexibility of acquiring multiple views for 3D shapes, ...

At the end of every quarter-long course at UC Santa Barbara, thousands of students await the single letter grade that many see as the sum of their hard work and mastery of the material. However, the ...

When most people think of shapes, they imagine a triangle, a rectangle, or maybe even a fancier-sounding rhombus or trapezoid. But to mathematicians, shapes encompass a vast universe of surprising ...

Researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys. Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it ...
