Physicists are using 3-D printing to test complex qualities of shapes made via the computer. They are studying "jamming" and the structural properties of shapes. Prof. Heinrich Jaeger's research group ...

Practice applying the properties of shapes to determine an angle involving at least two steps ahead of your National 5 Maths exam with this interactive maths quiz. Looking for more on applying the ...

Shape memory materials (SMMs) are featured by the ability to recover their original shape from a significant and seemingly plastic deformation upon a particular stimulus is applied 1. This is known as ...

When most people think of shapes, they imagine a triangle, a rectangle, or maybe even a fancier-sounding rhombus or trapezoid. But to mathematicians, shapes encompass a vast universe of surprising ...

Anisotropic nanoparticles are nanoparticles that possess different properties along different axes. Unlike their isotropic counterparts, which have uniform properties in all directions, anisotropic ...

How few corners can a shape have and still tile the plane?” mathematician Gábor Domokos asked me over pizza. His deceptively simple question was about the geometry of tilings, also called ...

Some SMAs can go back to a shape different from their original shape under a stimulus, thus holding two different shapes and are called two-way SMAs. Properties of Shape Memory Alloys The reason why ...
