Prototyping large structures with integrated electronics, like a chair that can monitor someone's sitting posture, is typically a laborious and wasteful process.

A rapid prototyping platform called VIK (Voxel Invention Kit) enables makers without engineering expertise to create large-scale interactive devices using a series of reconfigurable electromechanical ...

This includes the investigation of both crystalline solids in which the atoms are positioned on a repeating three-dimensional lattice ... Predicting stable crystal structures for complex systems ...

The result is a three-dimensional Fourier, or electron-density, map of the unit cell, which for the first time reveals the general nature of the tertiary structure of a protein molecule.

A research team from Southern University of Science and Technology discovered a small polaron effect induced by a giant ...
