For an object we carry, curse, and replace with alarming regularity, the umbrella has barely evolved. Too small, too flimsy, ...
Folding doors differ from classic double-leaf models mainly in the way they open. The patio consists of two narrow canvases, which, when opened, move to the side perpendicular to the doorway and are ...
Researchers have developed a new technique to control self-folding three-dimensional (3D) structures. Specifically, the researchers use templates to constrain deformation in certain selected areas on ...
The main mechanism behind plant movement is water absorption and release; the cellulose present in plant tissues draws water in and expands, and the underlying arrangement of cellulose fibers guides ...
The objective of the EFRI project led by Daniela Rus of MIT is to create computational materials whose properties can be programmed to achieve specific shapes and/or mechanical properties, such as ...
Researchers report having observed the RNA folding structures of the SARS-CoV2 genome with which the virus controls the infection process. Since these structures are very similar among various beta ...
AlphaFold didn't accelerate biology by running faster experiments. It changed the engineering assumptions behind protein ...
The emergence of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogen, warrants the need for collaborative ...
OPPO has filed four patents showing phones that can fold in multiple ways. The display of the phones is divided into different folding blocks. Foldable and flexible displays have certainly brought ...
