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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

What shape is the universe? The mathematics of flat space is astonishingly versatile, and new research is upending the ...

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 ...

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 ...
