The fragile-looking filaments of cooled lava known as Pele’s hair can form when pockets of bubble-rich lava pull apart rapidly, experiments suggest. Among all the ways that molten rock can solidify ...

Instead of just reading an explanation or looking at a static diagram, users can now engage directly with interactive visuals.

Abstract: The robotic manipulation of deformable linear objects has shown great potential in a wide range of real-world applications. However, it presents many challenges due to the objects' ...

The Möbius strip, a twisted loop with one continuous surface, is inspiring chemists to create new molecular structures. A team has synthesized a type of carbon-based molecule with an unprecedented ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical model for the shape reconstruction of soft robots under a tip force, a tip moment, and a distributed load along the body, akin to blood flow forces acting ...
