Defecation is a natural process that occurs in all living animals. The majority deposit fecal matter in the shape of rounded pellets, tubular strands, or shapeless heaps; but for whatever reason, ...

Use of nanoparticles in many applications, for instance for catalysis, relies on the surface area of the particles. Now scientists show how originally spherical nucleus can transform into cube with ...

Researchers may have found the answer to a mystery in the animal kingdom: How do wombats produce poop that looks like cubes? A study from scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology found the ...

Wombat poo has mystified scientists for years. The shy Australian marsupial is unique for being the only animal in the world to produce cubic poo. A team of researchers has finally uncovered exactly ...

As the children’s book Everyone Poos has taught us, creatures of all shapes and sizes create an array of poops, and they are all natural and okay. Well, maybe except for the wombat’s poop; something ...

Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more efficient ...

One of the fast-growing areas in virtual reality/augmented reality is 3D shape stylization, giving users the ability to automatically replicate detailed 3D shapes in the digital world. Replicating ...

The efficiency of many applications deriving from natural sciences depends dramatically on a finite-size property of nanoparticles, so-called surface-to-volume ratio. The larger the surface of ...

Computer scientists have developed a computational method to quantify an abstract cubic style. Additionally, their method also enables users to create new shapes that resemble the input shape and ...
