Differential geometry is a pivotal field of mathematics that examines the properties of curves, surfaces and more general manifolds by utilising methods from calculus and linear algebra. Its ...

Abstract: Lightweight materials and structures are essential in the aerospace industry, from enabling the large space structures required to advance science missions to reducing fuel consumption.

Structures made out of building blocks can shift their shape and autonomously self-organize to a new configuration. The physicists Saeed Osat and Ramin Golestanian from the Max Planck Institute for ...

The chameleon changes its color by adjusting the spacing between photonic crystals in its skin to modulate light reflection (Figure 1). A research team at the University of California at Berkeley has ...
