Inspired by an artist's stencils, researchers have developed atomic-level precision patterning on nanoparticle surfaces, allowing them to "paint" gold nanoparticles with polymers to give them an array ...

Brain activity is structured in space and time. The resulting activity patterns are conventionally thought to depend on an intricate web of anatomical connections that link specialized populations of ...

The bright white milk glass bud vase that has stood quietly on your mother’s kitchen shelf since the 1950s is actually an object with a history that dates to the Italian Renaissance era. In fact, milk ...

At last, a use for that industrial knitting machine you bought at a yard sale! Carnegie Mellon researchers have created a method that generates knitting patterns for arbitrary 3D shapes, opening the ...

In the West, bricks are almost always used to create straight, uniform walls in rectilinear buildings. India, on the other hand, has a long history of sculptural brickwork, using these basic ...

What’s the difference between the logo of a metal band and the patterns of a Zen garden? It sounds like the start of a joke, but it’s a real question - one that Dartmouth College researchers recently ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone ...

Photoshop Shapes are vector images that you can size up or down without degrading the image quality. The best thing about using Shapes is that it saves you time. For example, few people can draw a ...

With atomic stenciling, researchers have made a variety of patterned patchy nanoparticles with new shapes and properties. Illustration by Maayan Harel. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Inspired by an artist’s ...
