Using a new algorithmic model, the mathematicians examined what one can do using shapes that follow these new rules. Tiles ...

Mathematicians love tiling, the process of covering a surface using some set of geometric shapes with no gaps and overlaps. Tiling or tessellations can be seen in everything from art, to architecture, ...

Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.

morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl. The robot's versatility is due to a novel design based on kirigami, a cousin of origami, in which slices in the material enable it to fold ...

Domokos and his colleagues devised an algorithm for smoothly converting geometric tiles — either 2D polygons or 3D polyhedra, ...

Soft cells can determine something as small as a zebra's stripes, to the formation of river islands, all due to a lack of ...

Built with Airbus, the Metal 3D Printer completed the first of four test shapes. 3D printing isn't new to the ISS. In fact, the first experiments aboard the station examining the technology began ...

In this week’s edition of science for all newsletter, Arkatapa Basu writes about a newly discovered shape called soft cells ...

At the end of the day, this is an affordable, damp, cruisy-yet-capable all-mountain surfer that slashes the nexus of ...

Scientists at the University of Washington have re-created the distinctive spiral shapes of shark intestines in 3D-printed ...
