Meta 3D Gen (3DGen) is the company’s all-new AI tool for text-to-3D asset generation. It’s capable of 3D asset creation with high prompt fidelity and high-quality 3D textures in under a minute, while supporting physically-based rendering (PBR), necessary for 3D asset relighting in real-world applications.
Momandeum used a 3D printing pen to create an incredible Porsche Taycan model that looks better than any LEGO set. The process started with drawing out the chassis and the pieces needed to form a stable frame.
Putting 4 million suns in a black hole over New York is one thing, attempting to visualize spacetime is another. In terms of general relativity, spacetime is essentially a four-dimensional continuum that combines the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time into a single entity.

MIT researchers teamed up with Brigham and Women’s Hospital to develop a prosthetic leg fully driven by the body’s own nervous system. This surgical amputation procedure reconnects muscles in the residual limb, enabling patients to receive “proprioceptive” feedback about where their prosthetic limb is in space.
