Researchers have identified a new mechanism that drives the development of form and structure, through the observation of artificial materials that shape-shift through a wide variety of forms which ...

2D shapes can be described by their sides, their angles and their symmetry. The sides might be equal in length and some might be parallel. The angles could be right angles, but sometimes they are ...

If you ever wanted to stick a square peg in a round hole, it may soon be easier than you think. Researchers at the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder are working on a new material that responds to ...

Two-dimensional (2D) shapes are completely flat. They cannot be picked up. 2D shapes can be found printed in a book or you can draw them on a piece of paper. 2D shapes have sides and corners (also ...

Video: See some prototypes of robot swarms created by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University Swarms of robots that use electromagnetic forces to cling together and assume different shapes are being ...
