For years, the process of creating 3D assets has been synonymous with specialized skill sets, costly software licenses, and high-performance computing. Even for experts, the journey from concept to fi ...

Numerical simulations provide a mechanism that explains how celestial objects such as stars and galaxies can generate ordered, macroscopic magnetic fields. The mechanism arises from turbulence — ...

It is the double strands of our genes that make them so strong. Using a technique known as DNA origami, biophysicists have been building nanometer-scale objects for several years. Now scientists have ...

Controlled assembly of nanoparticles can increase their utility for a large range of applications. Selectively functionalizing the ends of hydrophilic nanorods with hydrophobic polymers is an elegant ...

After Christie Coombs' husband was killed on Sept. 11, 2001, friends, relatives and strangers stepped up to help her family. They brought them food, took them to sporting events and concerts and ...

For the first time, physicists in China have virtually eliminated the friction felt between two surfaces at scales visible to the naked eye. In demonstrating "structural superlubricity," the team, led ...
