Alkanediols such as 1,6-hexanediol disrupt many phase-separated condensates in cellula and in vitro, but how molecular interactions are perturbed by these compounds remains unclear. This study uses ...

Scientists in Germany have crafted “skyrmion bags” of light—complex vortex-like structures—on the surface of gold by cleverly ...

In his cozy workshop behind his D.C. home, contemporary kumiko craftsman David Gootnick, a Craft Show featured artist, uses the raw material of his practice: a five-foot-long, two-inch-thick plank of ...

Researchers from Max Born Institute have demonstrated a successful way to control and manipulate nanoscale magnetic bits—the ...

The invention is a metamaterial, which is a material engineered to feature new and unusual properties that depend on the material's physical structure rather than its chemical composition. In this ...

In an experiment reminiscent of the "Transformers" movie franchise, engineers at Princeton University have created a type of ...

Drawing inspiration from the folding art of origami, Princeton University engineers created a structure that blurs the lines ...

Researchers introduced a novel method for fabricating functional flat-to-shape objects using a computer-controlled sewing machine. The team's method uses the sewing machine to stitch pockets between ...

Magnetic composite with stiffness control allows programmable 3D shape shifting for use in soft robots, tactile interfaces, and reconfigurable displays.

When you see a bag of carrots at the grocery store, does your mind go to potatoes and parsnips or buffalo wings and celery?

Imagine crossing vast oceans, soaring across continents, or tunneling deep beneath the earth—without ever getting lost. For ...
