Rendered model showing a complex 3D structure made up of thousands of repeating microscopic patterns. By teaching an AI model to predict the behavior of these patterns, the Drexel team can design ...

Microscopic black holes have long hovered at the edge of theory, forming only in exquisitely balanced states. Now physicists ...

A sugar mixture similar to hard candy studded with tiny metal discs or rings has been used to deposit patterns onto microscopic objects. This method of creating texture on small objects could be ...

Researchers have demonstrated a novel way to inscribe microscopic patterns on living organisms, using the resilient tardigrade as a model. The study, published in Nano Letters, explores a technique ...

Scientists at the Vienna University of Technology have developed a brand new method for positioning molecules in space with micrometer precision. They call it “3D-photografting,” and it uses laser ...

Cell-free studies have demonstrated how collective action of actin-associated proteins can organize actin filaments into dynamic patterns, such as vortices, asters and stars. Using complementary ...

Laura Brazan is fascinated by the microscopic patterns that appear in the world. As a designer, master engraver and gold inlay artist, she works in fine detail to make those patterns part of her work ...
