Researchers have created a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can snap into more than a dozen curved, three-dimensional shapes by compressing or twisting the original structure. This rapid shape-shifting ...

Parking is not always an easy task. Sometimes spots are too tight, too small or positioned strangely — not to mention the potential obstacles hindering your perfect parking, like other vehicles, trees ...

A team of engineers at North Carolina State University has designed a polymer “Chinese lantern” that can rapidly snap into multiple stable 3D shapes—including a lantern, a spinning top, and more—by ...

Abstract: A broadband offset-parallel-parallelograms printed endfire antenna is presented. The proposed antenna consists of a pair of offset parallel parallelograms, the driver dipoles, the offset ...

As modern .NET applications grow increasingly reliant on concurrency to deliver responsive, scalable experiences, mastering asynchronous and parallel programming has become essential for every serious ...

The business of moving goods in the United States is dominated by trucks, which handle about two-thirds of the 20.2 billion tons of freight that’s transported annually. Parallel Systems founder and ...

Google's latest breakthrough in quantum computing, the Willow chip, is reigniting discussions among the scientific community about the possibility of parallel universes. Hartmut Neven, the founder and ...

For decades, my dad has been saying that he doesn’t want to hear a word about self-driving cars until they exist fully and completely. Until he can go to sleep behind the wheel (if there is a wheel) ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. What is a quadrilateral? A quadrilateral is a four-sided shape where each of the sides are straight and ...

Journal of Computational Mathematics, Vol. 21, No. 1, SPECIAL ISSUE DEDICATED TO THE 80TH BIRTHDAY OF PROFESSOR ZHOU YULIN (JANUARY 2003), pp. 53-62 (10 pages) This paper finds a way to extend the ...
