A team of engineers at Rice University and Kyung Hee University has developed a soft, shape-shifting mechanical surface that ...

As the consequence of complex interactions between different parts of an organ, shape can be used as a predictor of structural–functional relationships implicated in changing environments. Despite ...

Shape modeling is the study of the construction and analysis of digital representations of shape. A shape model is used as a surrogate for the actual object in areas such as biomedical modeling, ...

Historically, conventional radiographs have been the primary tool to morphometrically evaluate the talocrural joint, which is comprised of the distal tibia, distal fibula, and proximal talus. More ...

Can something as simple as shape fully determine whether or not proteins will bind together? Scientists are commissioning supercomputers to find out. A team led by Sharon Glotzer, distinguished ...

Researchers at the University of Twente and Utrecht University have packed rigid, rod-shaped particles into soft lipid ...

This shape, dubbed the scutoid, had no name until researchers found it while modeling how skin cells pack together. University of Seville and Lehigh University Most of us only need to master the ...

A new computational approach, built on data-driven techniques, is making it possible to turn simple 2D sketch into a realistic 3D shape, with little or no user input necessary. A new computational ...

Scientists are pioneering a powerful combination of computer modelling and experimental genetics to work out how the complex shapes of organs found in nature are produced by the interacting actions of ...
