The Vertices'N'Faces structure (VNF) holds the data used by polyhedron() to construct objects: a vertex list and a list of faces. This library makes it easier to construct polyhedra by providing ...

Despite the prominence of orbitals throughout the undergraduate chemistry curriculum, high-quality visualization of atomic orbitals is out of reach for most scientists. Rigorously visualizing the ...

The dynamic buckling of circular rings is a pervasive instability problem with a major impact in various fields, such as structural, nuclear and offshore engineering, robotics, electromechanics, and ...

Soft robots, devices with deformable bodies and powered by soft actuators, may fill a hitherto unexplored niche in outer space. All space-bound payloads are heavily limited in terms of mass and volume ...

Inflatable structures are flat and foldable when empty and both lightweight and stiff when pressurized and deployed. They are easy to manufacture by fusing 2 inextensible sheets together along a ...

A vortex ring is a torus-shaped, fluidic region where the fluid spins around an imaginary axis line. Vortex rings exist almost ubiquitously in nature 1,2,3,4 and have stimulated numerous studies for ...
