If the universe curves back on itself like the screen in the classic video game Pac-Man, these anomalies might be crucial for understanding its shape. To get the idea think about the contrast between ...

New Polymer Shapeshifts Into Complex Origami Shapes Researchers at China’s Zhejiang University have created an experimental thermal polymer plastic that, when exposed to heat, can fold itself ...

Proteins fold into complex shapes that determine a cell's function. These shapes are more conserved over evolutionary time than the sequences themselves, meaning they change more slowly and retain ...
