Jamie Paik and her team of researchers at EPFL's School of Engineering have created an origami-like robot that can change shape, move around and interact with objects and people. By combining ...

In our exploration of Mars, we’ve seen some strange but naturally occurring shapes. Polygons — a shape with at least three straight sides and angles, typically with five or more — have been seen in ...

For one Earth year, the Chinese rover Zhurong explored beneath the surface of Mars using its ground-penetrating radar. A new study has shown that the rover uncovered polygonal wedges 35 kilometers ...

Understanding how surface and subsurface waters are affected by drought, fire, warming, and increased human demand requires computer models that can represent complex environments. Predictions are ...

A scientist from the University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates has arrived at a new method that may help craftsmen to simulate and produce immeasurable numbers of stunning patterns of ...

The individual modules of the Mori3 robot are triangular in shape. The modules easily join together to create polygons of different sizes and configurations in a process known as polygon meshing. “We ...
