Researchers demonstrate that new physical theories provide precise predictions of the deformations of certain structures, revealing that a flexible mechanical structure is governed by some of the same math as electromagnetic waves and even black holes.
Antarctic supraglacial lakes have been linked to ice-shelf collapse and acceleration of inland ice flow.
Dating the expansion of a group of species when the fossil record is sparse is not a simple task, and can change as methods of analysis become more sophisticated.
Graduate students at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built the first graffiti-painting robot system that mimics the fluidity of human movement.
Using biological experiments, robot models, and a geometric theory of locomotion, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology investigated how and why intermediate lizard species, with their elongated bodies and short limbs, might use their bodies
Researchers have developed a methodology to determine why coastal glaciers are retreating, and in turn, how much can be attributed to human-caused climate change.
A new "resilience sensing system" can identify ecosystems that are in danger of collapse, research shows.
