Complex analysis and the geometry of domains represent a vibrant interdisciplinary area that amalgamates tools from pure mathematics with practical applications. This field investigates the properties ...
Utrecht University researchers Rodolfo Subert and Marjolein Dijkstra show in their latest study that complex three-dimensional networks in materials can emerge from nothing more than particle shape.
Scientists have created a liquid crystal elastomer that can be molded into shapes that shift from one to another when heated. The material is intended for biomedical and robotics applications. Rice ...
New research shows robotic materials can learn and adapt without software, storing behavior directly in their structure.
New cell-laden bioink, comprised of tightly-packed, flake-shaped microgels and living cells, the production of cell-rich 4D bioconstructs that can change shape under physiological conditions. Where ...
Additive manufacturing shines with promise. The discipline, also known as 3D printing, holds the promise of being the most powerful, efficient and versatile method of manufacturing, enabling a whole ...
TekCAD 2002, from TekStar International, Longwood, Fla., is a three-dimensional geometry generator that creates and manipulates complex forms through either mathematical or freehand interfaces. The ...
