Researchers from Princeton University describe the mathematics behind the many forms created by thin strips of flexible material. This could help design materials that change form depending on specific conditions.
Since nuclear fusion was discovered, it has become something of a holy grail in the search for efficient and clean energy sources. While the technology remains in a developmental phase, scientists are looking for a revolutionary application - fusion drives for spacecraft.
A team of scientists from Princeton University has demonstrated a way to precisely control the response of genetically engineered bacteria by switching lights on and off, controlling the bacteria's chemical production.
There’s a point in nearly every individual’s life when they come to realize that their idol is nothing if not human beneath their perfect façade.
