Abstract: Multilayer complex structures are widely used in the energy and power industries. However, due to the combined effects of multiple media layers and complex curved surfaces, using phased ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a new way to design 3D structures that deploy from a flat form with a single pull of a string. The method could help engineers rapidly assemble complex structures in ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration into their curved, fully formed shape with only a single pull of a string. The ...

In many submerged regions, murky mud shelters strange life-forms that seem to be the key to one of the biggest mysteries of life on Earth. These creatures belong to a domain of life called the archaea ...

Human languages are complex phenomena. Around 7,000 languages are spoken worldwide, some with only a handful of remaining speakers, while others, such as Chinese, English, Spanish and Hindi, are ...

Two enormous structures that sit at the border between the Earth’s mantle and its core have puzzled scientists for decades, defying reigning theories of how our planet came to be. In a new study ...

The Pleiades (M45) is arguably the most famous star cluster in the sky. Known as the Seven Sisters, or Subaru in Japan, its history is woven into human culture, with stories about it potentially ...

"This study changes how we see the Pleiades — not just seven bright stars, but thousands of long-lost siblings scattered across the whole sky." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

The Tentative Lists of States Parties are published by the World Heritage Centre at its website and/or in working documents in order to ensure transparency, access to information and to facilitate ...

Drugs to treat inflammatory and autoimmune diseases - such as asthma, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis or Chrousos syndrome - act mainly through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). This essential protein ...
