A structure is a 3D shape made from different materials and parts. Some can be simple to build, such as a wall. Others can be complex, or harder to build, such as a bridge or a building. The strength ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...

Proteins consist of amino acids, which are linked to form long amino acid chains as specified by our genetic material. In our cells, these chains are not simply rolled up like strings of pearls, but ...

When active filaments are exposed to localized illumination, they accumulate into stable structures along the boundaries of the illuminated area. Based on this fact, researchers developed a model that ...

Little is known about this vital cell structure, but MIT biologist Thomas Schwartz is trying to change that. Using X-ray crystallography, he is steadily assembling a thorough portrait of the 500 ...

A simple mathematical model predicts the development of cultural structures observed in human societies Figure 1: Bonds with in-laws play a role in the development of complex social structures known ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...
