The famous observation decks of 20th-century buildings—the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, the World Trade Center—were low-tech but thrilling open-air platforms ringed by coin-operated ...

The map is called the GlobalBuildingAtlas, and you can access it online now. Compared to previous databases of this type, ...

A new interactive map, GlobalBuildingAtlas, has been released, featuring 2.75 billion buildings in 3D worldwide. Developed by ...

For most of human history, maps have flattened the world. Cities appeared as outlines, buildings as blocks of colour, and ...

(Nanowerk News) The electronics industry is approaching a limit to the number of transistors that can be packed onto the surface of a computer chip. So, chip manufacturers are looking to build up ...

A collaborative team has achieved the first monolithic 3D chip built in a U.S. foundry, delivering the densest 3D chip wiring and order-of-magnitude speed gains.

The operating life and life span of buildings are often far apart. If a property is no longer fit for purpose, it is usually demolished even though it would still be perfectly usable. Even in the ...

Typically, when you want to build a high rise, you need iron, steel, cement, concrete; materials that are super strong and durable but also come with a high carbon footprint. Now, some builders are ...

The electronics industry is approaching a limit to the number of transistors that can be packed onto the surface of a computer chip. So, chip manufacturers are looking to build up rather than out.

Researchers can now fabricate a 3D chip with alternating layers of semiconducting material grown directly on top of each other. The method eliminates thick silicon substrates between the layers, ...
