The elephant ivory trade has been widely banned across the globe in an effort to protect the declining populations of the majestic animals. A team of researchers has come up with a new a synthetic ivory that can be used to repair or restore historic objects, from missing chess pieces to a 17th-century casket. "Digory" is made of synthetic resin and calcium phosphate particles. "It is processed in a hot, liquid state and hardened in the 3D printer with UV rays, exactly in the desired shape," said the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) in a statement on Tuesday. "It can then be polished and color-matched to create a deceptively authentic-looking ivory substitute." CNET Science From the lab to your inbox. Get the latest science stories from CNET every week. Restoration experts have turned to plastic, bone and other substitutes to replace ivory, but it has been challenging to find materials that look, feel and behave like the real thing. "The material should not … [Read more...] about 3D-printed, elephant-friendly ivory substitute Digory looks like the real thing

Smile and say cheese! This Raspberry Pi project , known as RuhaCam, is ready to capture all of life's finest moments. It was created by Ruha Cheng and Penk Chen who decided to develop an open-source approach to handheld digital cameras. The camera is housed inside of a 3D-printed shell designed with a retro, handheld shape. Inside is a Raspberry Pi Zero and a Raspberry Pi HQ camera module for high quality results when capturing photos. Image 1 of 3 Image 2 of 3 Image 3 of 3 The best Raspberry Pi projects are the ones you can recreate yourself and this one is totally open source. The 3D printer files and code used are available to anyone on GitHub . There you'll find a complete list of parts which includes additional components like a 10MP 16mm Telephoto Lens and a 2.2-inch TFT display to serve as a viewfinder.

Spiders don't see well, so they sense the world through the vibrations that ripple through their intricate webs as they stretch silk strands or a breeze blows. Turns out those vibrations make for some otherworldly music. We know this thanks to the work of MIT scientists who sonified the 3D structure of spider webs and shared the results online. You can listen to their spider sound track in the video below. "Sounds like two things: 1. A slowed-down version of the dial-up sound. 2. A Yoko Ono composition," one YouTube commenter said in response to the vid. CNET Science From the lab to your inbox. Get the latest science stories from CNET every week. The researchers, led by Markus Buehler , an MIT engineering professor and a composer of experimental music, presented the results of their work Monday at the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society. The team scanned a spider web with a laser during the natural structure's construction, assigning different … [Read more...] about Hear the haunting music MIT scientists made from sounds of spider webs

File-sharing site The Pirate Bay is apparently expanding its reach into letting users pass one another physical objects to download. Well, that's actually not the case just yet. But the site is introducing a new category called "Physibles" in anticipation of a day in which "you will print the spare parts for your vehicles." Physibles are "data objects that are able (and feasible) to become physical," the site says in its announcement blog post. In other words, files meant for 3D printers . Such printers and scanners are not widespread but do already exist. The Pirate Bay, however, believes that 3D technology will become commonplace before long. "You will download your sneakers within 20 years," the blog post says. At the time of this writing, the Physibles category contained just three files available for download. Included were apparent data files for a whistle, a model robot and a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle muscle car. The Pirate Bay says that what it believes to … [Read more...] about The Pirate Bay Wants You to Download Physical Objects Now
