DNA origami sounds like science fiction, but for HIV vaccine researchers it is becoming a practical design tool. By folding strands of DNA into tiny three-dimensional scaffolds, scientists can arrange ...

EPFL roboticists have shown that when a modular robot shares power, sensing, and communication resources among its individual ...

Firstly, I removed the middle section of my modular sofa, the King Living 1977 made up of three modules, and turned it into a chair facing the now two-module sofa at an angle. The back of that chair ...

Rising rates of heart rhythm problems are colliding with an aging population and crowded hospitals. At the same time, many people still rely on bulky monitors and sticky disposable patches to track ...

In “The Heart-Shaped Tin,” the British food writer Bee Wilson offers a bittersweet ode to the everyday tools we use in the kitchen, along with stories great and small. By Irina Dumitrescu Irina ...

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 ...

Modular's platform supports seven major chips, including Nvidia, AMD, and Apple CEO Lattner emphasizes enabling competition in AI chips Modular plans to expand into AI training market with new funding ...

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 ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...

Abstract: Developing shape-changing systems is challenging, and origami offers a unique approach by transforming 2D planes into 3D structures. While existing active reconfigurable origami systems ...
