Pity the poor designers trying to generate eye-popping shapes for products they hope will earn "gotta-have" status. If they alter one curve using traditional surfacing software, another can change ...

The technique is based on the ability of protein complexes to maintain their shapes in the gas phase and yields information about the solution structure that is otherwise difficult to obtain. It ...

Researchers have demonstrated how two interfering photons can bunch into various shapes. These complex shapes are beneficial for quantum technologies, such as performing fast photonic quantum ...

As the digital revolution has now become mainstream, quantum computing and quantum communication are rising in the consciousness of the field. The enhanced measurement technologies enabled by quantum ...

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 ...

Are you familiar with pop tubes? Resembling the corrugated section of a bendy straw, they are at the core of PopTuber, an intriguing research project from the Actuated Experience Lab at the ...

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 ...

Liquid-crystal elastomers—which contain heat-responsive liquid-crystal molecules embedded in a stretchy polymer—could one day be used to make soft robots and biomedical devices. Typically, researchers ...
