3d Photo Crystals
Our Website offers a wide range of gifts in various shapes and sizes that are suitable for any occasion. It makes no difference whether it is someone's retirement, anniversary, birthday, graduation, or even wedding. You can customise a Crystals gift with their engraved memories, and the gift will tell them how much their presence in your life means to you.
Customized gifts are more appreciated and adored because they show that you put a lot of thought and consideration into selecting the present, and this thought strengthens your bond more than ever.

An unprecedented feat: Printing 3D photonic crystals that completely block light
Photonic crystals are materials with repeating internal structures that interact with light in unique ways. We can find natural examples in opals and the vibrant colored shells of some insects. Even though these crystals are made of transparent materials, they exhibit a "photonic bandgap" that blocks light at certain wavelengths and directions.
A special type of this effect is a "complete photonic bandgap," which blocks light from all directions. This complete bandgap allows for precise control of light, opening up possibilities for advancements in telecommunications, sensing, and quantum technologies. As a result, scientists have been working on different methods to create these advanced photonic crystals.
While 1D and 2D photonic crystals have been used in various applications, unlocking the secret to producing 3D photonic crystals with a complete photonic bandgap in the visible range has been fraught with challenges due to the need to achieve nanoscale precise control of all three dimensions in the fabrication process.

My Hero Forge Digital Kitbashing Creations — "Who Wears Scale Mail Just on the Left Side, Anyway?" Edition
So, my favorite Iconic Character from D&D 3E/3.5E was Ragnara the Psychic Warrior from the Psionics Handbook. I've posted about my attempt to recreate her in Hero Forge before.
But now Hero Forge has implemented a new Digital Kitbashing feature where they let Pro subscribers have access to most every part from their library, to be resized and posed anywhere.
This meant I could finally get a lot closer to her source material art:
I know when it comes to D&D Iconic characters, she's a bit on the obscure side, but Wizards of the Coast did make a blind-box mini of her, and third party mini manufacturer Reaper had a sculpt that was clearly inspired by her (image is not my paint job).
Hero Forge Kitbashing has only been out since Monday, so I'm still learning it, but the results are impressive all the same.

Do you have pictures of yours?

I finaly got around to painting my 3D printed model! He's a little under 3". The leaves are made from scrap fabric and painted too. I definitely need to do more of these!
Crystal Chronicles was one of the first games I got super invested in as a kid, and totally predicted my love of dark, off-beat RPGs with minimal storytelling. I even had all the hardware for multiplayer, but usually used it to play solo with perks -u- and the Lilty race is one of the most pleasing designs of all time, the way they move, fight and dress. Still in my top 10 now that it's on Switch <3

Elusive 3D printed nanoparticles could lead to new shapeshifting materials
In nanomaterials, shape is destiny. That is, the geometry of the particle in the material defines the physical characteristics of the resulting material.
"A crystal made of nano-ball bearings will arrange themselves differently than a crystal made of nano-dice and these arrangements will produce very different physical properties," said Wendy Gu, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Stanford University, introducing her latest paper which appears in the journal Nature Communications.
"We've used a 3D nanoprinting technique to produce one of the most promising shapes known—Archimedean truncated tetrahedrons. They are micron-scale tetrahedrons with the tips lopped off."
