LED face masks offer a host of transformative skin benefits—they can reduce redness, treat acne, and minimize the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. Even better, they don’t require a lot ...

Miles Wu, 14, won a $25,000 award for his research project combining origami and physics. He measured the weight that Miura-ori origami patterns can hold across various benchmarks. Wu said the pattern ...

Engineers are using origami-inspired folding patterns to create deployable structures that shrink down flat and then expand into functional shapes in space, architecture and robotics. Trump’s shutdown ...

Below, we asked board-certified experts to share their take on what makes a great hydrogel mask. The result is a cohesive list of 10 options across skin types, price points, and key ingredients, ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Masks saved an untold number of lives during the COVID-19 pandemic, but now, the resulting plastic pollution from those masks is concerning scientists. A new study found that disposable face masks, or ...

The universe often demands inventions that balance elegance with function. Engineers design spacecraft parts to be compact during launch yet expansive when deployed. Surprisingly, inspiration for this ...

Researchers have folded their way into a groundbreaking new family of origami patterns. Dubbed bloom patterns, because they resemble flowers as they unfold, the new class of origami shapes holds great ...

The art of origami goes back centuries — enough time to explore every possible crease that can be made in a sheet of paper, one might think. And yet, researchers have now found a new class of origami ...
