Mathematician Katie Steckles explains just why the proliferation of snowflake decorations this time of year is deeply ...

In the iconic "Sound of Music" score, "My Favorite Things," a young Julie Andrews lists snowflakes as objects that bring her joy. While some people would rather avoid snowflakes and the slippery roads ...

The end of the year is usually a busy time in the quantum computing arena, as companies often try to announce that they’ve reached major milestones before the year wraps up. This year has been no ...

In this paper, sorghum and reed, light stem structures in nature, are selected as biomimetic prototypes. According to their mechanical stability characteristics-the porous structure at the node ...

A new study examines how bees adapt to build honeycombs on top of various 3D-printed foundations. Golnar Gharooni-Fard Honeycombs are marvels of engineering—the bees that create them will work ...

Atomic coordination patterns in bulk materials can predict stable MXene structures, offering a new design framework that expands the 2D materials landscape beyond conventional synthesis routes.
