Traditional ways of designing and building robots have involved human experience and knowledge to decide on the robot’s morphology (body) and then produce a proprietary piece of software (brain) to ...

Laser Directed Energy Deposition (LDED) marks a critical advance in intelligent manufacturing, enabling efficient near-net shape production of metal parts. This method is especially beneficial for ...

Magnetic materials play a vital role in energy-efficient data storage technologies, combining very fast switching with long-term retention of information. However, it has been shown that, at very ...

The rhizosphere, the fraction of soil altered by plant roots, is a dynamic domain that rapidly changes during plant growth. Traditional approaches to quantify root growth patterns are very limited in ...

How can flat surfaces be transformed into useful three-dimensional structures? Recent research on origami techniques has led to algorithmic solutions to the inverse design problem of prescribing a set ...

We present a model to explain how the neurosecretory system of aquatic mollusks generates their diversity of shell structures and pigmentation patterns. The anatomical and physiological basis of this ...
