A new study reveals how biological branching networks use surface geometry to shape blood vessels, brains, and plants.

I actually wrote about this over a decade ago, but I found myself thinking about this once again, the fact that, in 1972, the ...

For more than a century, scientists have wondered why physical structures like blood vessels, neurons, tree branches, and ...

Popocatépetl emerged in the crater of other volcanoes in its current form more than 20,000 years ago and has been active ...

In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation for modern geometry and physics.

Abstract: This article presents a 3-D adaptive guidance law based on barrier functions (BFs) for position constraint during the interception of a maneuvering target by a laser beam riding steered ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

Abstract: In this paper, to develop a backstepping-based finite-time control (BFTC) method for the three-dimensional integrated guidance and control (IGC) system with target maneuvers and disturbances ...

NBC News' Gadi Schwartz reports on "3I/ATLAS," a mysterious outer space object that is thought to be billions of years old, making its closest approach to Earth, giving scientists an opportunity to ...

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1, 2025. There is currently no evidence to suggest that it is anything other than a natural astrophysical object. However, given the small ...
