The earwig’s delicate, paper-thin wings can open 10x their folded size due to its origami-like creases – Credit: ETH Zurich / Purdue University (Article by Rohini Subrahmanyam originally published by ...
Scientists have discovered a new way to store mechanical energy using twisted rods in specially designed metamaterials, delivering massive energy density gains and big potential for robotics and ...
An international research team has developed mechanical metamaterials with a high elastic energy density. Highly twisted rods that deform helically provide these metamaterials with a high stiffness ...
The study of vector waves involves the spin–orbit interaction, which is fundamental to phenomena such as the spin–Hall effect of light and plays a crucial role in wave manipulation. In this research, ...
