Animating wet hair: Researchers model interplay of forces between liquid and hair

A Multi-Scale Model for Simulating Liquid-Hair Interactions describes innovations for capturing liquid onto hairs, modeling the flow along hairs, inducing cohesion, and enabling dripping.

Invisible, machine-readable AirCode tags make tagging objects part of 3D-fabrication process

To uniquely identify and encode information in printed objects, Columbia researchers embed carefully designed air pockets, or AirCode tags, just below the surface of an object. The tags are invisible to people but easily decoded using a conventional camera-projector setup.
