Sea urchin skeletons may owe some of their strength to a common geometric design. Urchin skeletons display “an incredible diversity of structures at the microscale, varying from fully ordered to ...

A new study led by Prof. Chen from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at New York University discovered the function of mechanical constraints in glioblastoma. This study explored the underlying ...

Belying their slimy natures, the sticky patches of bacteria called biofilms often form intricate, starburst-like patterns as they grow. Now, researchers at Princeton University have combined expertise ...

Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is required during semiconductor processing of many memory and logic devices. CMP is used to create planar surfaces and achieve uniform layer thickness during ...

Nature follows mathematical rules and creates repeating patterns across completely different organisms and environments.
