The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Similarly to the artistic technique of folding paper into ornate shapes, DNA origami is a self-assembling technique of precisely folding single-stranded DNA scaffolds into well-defined nanostructures.

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and severe across the United States, imperiling solar generation equipment and therefore the reliability of power. Meanwhile, there’s an industry-wide ...
