The Steam Machine marks Valve’s long-awaited return to the console wars. It looks slick and sounds powerful enough to play modern games on decent settings. But Valve is leaving the biggest question of ...

A research team from Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University has developed a prototype knitting machine that can build arbitrarily rigid three-dimensional structures by layering stitches ...

If you find 3D printers to be just a little too coldly futuristic, this contraption might be more to your liking. Scientists from Cornell University have created a machine that knits solid 3D objects ...

The researchers sampled hospital data from more than 2,600 patients in the U.S. They used machine learning to analyze millions of data points and discover hidden patterns in common blood measurements, ...

Using a pick or double-pointed needle, lift the bottom loop up and over the top loop on each of the four pegs until you have just the one loop left on each one. After a few rows of stitches, you’ll ...
