In research that may help bridge the divide between the nano and the macro, chemists have used pyramid-shaped nanoparticles to create what might be the most complex macroscale superstructure ever ...

Yes alien spaceships are coming to an ocean near you. With the design of the Tetrahedron Super Yacht, inspired by re-thinking the form, superstructure and propulsion of the modern superyacht into a ...

A pyramidal prism/angular cube reflector is always used to reflect a beam of light into the prism, regardless of the direction of the beam. Corner prisms are widely used where accurate alignment is ...

ANTS is an acronym for Autonomous Nano-Technology Swarm. ANTS technology builds on and advances recent trends in robotics, artificial intelligence, and materials processing to minimize costs and ...

Generally speaking, even those of us with minimal maritime experience can tell if a boat is going to be speedy. Fast boats tend to look lean, stretched-out and sleek; slow ones are usually wide, squat ...

As if carrying life’s genetic code weren’t enough, DNA molecules are in demand these days as raw material for microscopic constructions. For instance, nanotechnologists have fashioned cubic and ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- Researchers from Brown University have assembled complex macroscale superstructures from pyramid-shaped nanoparticle building blocks. The research, described in ...
