We can safely say that major companies are interested in 3D printed electronics, at least from a research and development perspective. However, this may be somewhat quotidian, given what may be in ...

The design team at LinkedSparx has created a new range of light panels that can be arranged in a variety of different combinations as well as build three-dimensional lights. Launched via Kickstarter ...

Most 3D printers build up 3D objects layer by layer. This creates a “stair-step” effect along the edges. It also limits the printer’s ability to build flexible objects because bendable materials often ...

In a recent article, I looked at the demise of Lytro, maker of the first consumer “light field” camera, and what it meant for the future of this technology in mobile devices. As intriguing as some of ...

Researchers have demonstrated a prototype glasses-free 3D light field display system with a significantly extended viewing distance thanks to a newly developed flat lens. The system is an important ...

3D printing has changed the way people approach hardware design, but most printers share a basic limitation: they essentially build objects layer by layer, generally from the bottom up. This new ...

We don’t see enough novelty light switches here at the Lab. That’s probably because most of them look like Mickey Mouse or the Teletubbies*. The Cubic Switchplate, though, is different, being both ...

With two cameras separated by a few miles it's possible to create stereo photo pairs of the aurora borealis. Japanese researchers used two digital single-lens reflex cameras to capture these ...
