Cells are minute—typically too small to be seen by the human eye. Even so, the cellular world encompasses a range of scales, from roughly a tenth of a nanometer (10 −10 m) to a millimeter (10 −3 m) or ...

4D, most known in science fiction and theoretical physics, is being actualized by the 4D printing technology developed at MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab. This breakthrough enhances conventional 3D printing ...

Exploration of the fourth dimension, well-known in literature and theoretical physics, became a realistic theme only a few years ago. This leap was made when the first object was printed using 4D ...

Researchers have invented nano-optical tweezers capable of trapping and moving an individual nano-object in three dimensions using only the force of light. Using this approach, they have demonstrated ...

Scientists have found that neurons in the monkey visual cortical area V4*1, one of the areas in the visual cortex, calculate the size of an object based on information on its retinal image size and ...

This news release is available in Japanese. A group of researchers at Osaka University found that neurons in the monkey visual cortical area V4*1, one of the areas in the visual cortex, calculate the ...
