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, ...

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 ...

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.

Obtaining information before a visit is one of the priority needs and challenges for blind museum visitors. We propose ...

Hard as it may be to imagine, there’s a newly defined geometric shape on the books. Based on recent calculations, mathematicians have described a new classification they now call a “soft cell.” In its ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...
