Physicists at the University of Liège have succeeded in sculpting the surface of water by exploiting surface tension. Using ...

Dice are examples of so-called "rigid bodies," broadly defined as shapes that move as one solid piece, with no need for bending or twisting. Such shapes "are of scientific interest because they model ...

3D printing, which builds objects layer by ... However, the process struggles with creating perfect cubes or complex curved shapes, much like nature itself. Professor Tawfick hopes this simple ...

Printing in gel negates the need for these structures, as the gel itself supports the shape of the printed ... structures found in nature, which exhibit remarkable functionalities.” The researchers ...

“In nature, there are many examples ... embedded printing supports the material’s shape and enables more complex structures. Even with embedded 3D printing, however, hair-like structures ...

Printing in gel negates the need for these structures, as the gel itself supports the shape ... nature, which exhibit remarkable functionalities." The researchers became interested in embedded 3D ...

Instead of space-time’s three spatial dimensions and one of time, the physics of our world could be encoded into a set of odd geometrical shapes – and studying them may chart a new ...

However, sketches’ subjective and abstract nature, known as confounders, potentially reduces learning performance of matching with 3D shapes. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a sketch ...

But in 3D, these curvy, almost organic forms have no corners at all. Once the researchers identified the new shapes, they began to see them all over the place—in nature, art and architecture.
