“Now that the promise of 3-D printing has landed on the national agenda, researchers want to increase the stakes — with so-called 4-D printing.

No, the printers won’t generate hypercubes [above]. Rather, the scientists claim that their “fourth dimension” refers to time — as in the space-time continuum described by the mathematician Hermann Minkowski early in the 20th century. The 4-D structures are first generated by 3-D printers but then transform when activated.

“This is a whole new idea of printing, where you don’t just print static objects; you print things that turn into other things,” explained Skylar Tibbits, an M.I.T. researcher who is working on the printer collaboration with Stratasys, an Israeli 3-D printing company. Mr. Tibbits’s research has focused on self-assembly technologies, for things ranging from toys to furniture.

The research, which was announced Tuesday at the TED Conference in Long Beach, Calif., is into what essentially resembles self-folding origami.”

Tim Knowles - Tree Drawings (2006)

Artist’s statement:

“A series of drawings produced using drawing implements attached to the tips of tree branches, the wind’s effects on the tree, recorded on paper.

Like signatures each drawing reveals the different qualities and characteristics of each tree.”

First-ever attempt at meringue mushrooms this Xmas. Pretty pleased.

In related news, an easy way to tell that you’ve used too much food coloring is when you’re out of food coloring…consequently, my cuticles are still dyed magenta, and the toadstools taste less like sugar and more like paint.
