We have built a world of largely straight lines – the houses we live in, the skyscrapers we work in and the streets we drive on our daily commutes. Yet outside our boxes, nature teams with frilly, ...

This study presents a geometry-aware generative modelling framework for earthquake response spectra, leveraging a hierarchical variational autoencoder (HVAE) with latent variables embedded in a ...

Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs), which have an extremely high anisotropy with a hyperbolic dispersion relation, are rising as an innovative method of manipulating light. HMMs have received tremendous ...

Reducing redundant information to find simplifying patterns in data sets and complex networks is a scientific challenge in many knowledge fields. Moreover, detecting the dimensionality of the data is ...

The long-running project, sometimes described as the environmental version of the AIDS quilt, thrives on convoluted math and a sea of volunteers. Coral reefs inspired the crochet exhibition “Austrian ...

The combinatorial frequency generation (CFG) in active periodic semiconductor-dielectric structures has been explored through illumination by a pair of pump waves with dissimilar frequencies and ...

Researchers are looking the 'hypar' origami for ways to leverage its structural properties. While perhaps not as iconic as the paper crane, the hypar origami with its sweeping opposing arcs and saddle ...

The exhibition hall is 135m long and enclosed by two hyperbolic paraboloid roofs, rising to a central ridge 29m high. The roof structure consists of cranked trusses formed from straight tubular ...

(Nanowerk News) Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs), which have an extremely high anisotropy with a hyperbolic dispersion relation, are rising as an innovative method of manipulating light. HMMs have ...
