We usually assume that tissue folding (the process that creates organs, embryos, and the deep ridges of the human brain) ...

A new method for shaping matter into complex shapes, with the use of 'twisted' light, has been demonstrated. A new method for shaping matter into complex shapes, with the use of 'twisted' light, has ...

Studying one of the simplest animals, Stanford's Prakash Lab uncovered how it folds itself into complex shapes—revealing new ...

To calculate the amount of carbon stored inside peatlands, researchers developed a unified theory of “bog physics” applicable around the world. A visit to a peat bog will make you rethink everything ...

Researchers have unveiled a new magnetic cloaking device that can render sensitive objects invisible to detection.

Researchers have taken inspiration from origami to create inflatable structures that can bend, twist and move in complex, distinct ways from a single source of pressure. Inflatable soft actuators that ...

In the core of a knitting machine or at the tips of a skilled knitter’s needles, a strand of fiber can be transformed into anything from a delicate scarf to a bulletproof vest. But different knitting ...

Pills and tablets are usually shaped like circles and ovals, which makes them easier to swallow, but that doesn’t offer much control in how they release their drug payload. Max Planck scientists have ...

Modeling how cars deform in a crash, how spacecraft respond to extreme environments, or how bridges resist stress could be made thousands of times faster thanks to new artificial intelligence that ...

THAT EVEN WORK? IT’S AMAZING. A LIVE LOOK AT BALLOON FIESTA PARK FROM SKY SEVEN. NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF THOSE SPECIAL SHAPES DID NOT TAKE OFF THIS MORNING, BUT THEY ARE PREPARING FOR THE GLOW ...

A new method for shaping matter into complex shapes, with the use of ‘twisted’ light, has been demonstrated in research at the University of Strathclyde. When atoms are cooled to temperatures close to ...
