A researcher from the University of Tokyo and a U.S.-based structural engineer developed a new computational form-finding method that could change how architects and engineers design lightweight and ...

LIGHT, which in everyday experience travels in straight beams, has been trapped on complex curved surfaces. The feat is not just a parlour trick – it could help people visualise how light travels in ...

Stretchable elastomer paints form conductive and insulating layers directly on curved surfaces, enabling multilayer soft electronics for sensing and energy harvesting without transfers or specialized ...

Biodesign Institute’s constructions include spheres, ellipsoids, and a round-bottomed DNA nanoflask. Scientists have developed a modified DNA origami technology for constructing complex 3-D DNA ...

Homeowners can be hesitant about the possibility of tiling curved surfaces, especially for the shower. However, adding tiles is not just a matter of aesthetics; it also increases the ease of ...

Various surface/interfacial micro/nanostructures have been widely used in solar cells 1,2,3,4, light emitting diodes 5, surface wetting and adhesion 6,7,8, metamaterials 9,10,11,12, cell biophysics 13 ...
