Google Maps has got fresh competition. Using machine learning, computer engineers have developed an interactive map that shows 3D models of the world's buildings – practically every single one of them ...

A gray powder that looks like ash can become something closer to stone when hit with the right beam of light. Engineers have shown that simulated lunar soil can be melted and layered into solid shapes ...

Engineering has spent decades pushing limits in two directions: building structures that grow larger every year and shrinking ...

Engineers developed a new kind of reconfigurable masonry made from 3D-printed, recycled glass. The bricks could be reused many times over in building facades and internal walls. What if construction ...

Step aside, Google Maps; stand down, Apple Maps. Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany have created a new online atlas that shows the location of 2.75 billion buildings ...

Building or repairing structures in difficult-to-reach locations is a daunting task, as bringing in the cranes, scaffolding and whatnot can be quite difficult. That's why scientists are creating a ...

Three-dimensional printing technology has been pitched as a fix for America’s housing affordability crisis, promising faster ...

Drones working together can create large 3D-printed structures made of foam or cement. The experiments are paving the way for a future where swarms of drones could help construct extremely tall or ...

Google Maps has had the capability to display buildings in 3D for a while, but now the app is testing the feature to show 3D buildings during navigation on both the mobile app and Android Auto. By ...

Earlier this year Google Maps on Android Auto started showing buildings in 3D while driving. Now, that functionality is rolling out more widely, and we’ve got a few more details on it as well. 3D ...
