Engineers have developed a scalable soft surface that can continuously reshape itself to mimic objects in nature. Relying on electromagnetic actuation, mechanical modeling and machine learning to form ...

Scientists have unravelled a fascinating new insight into how the landscape of the dwarf-planet Pluto has formed. A team of international researchers, including Dr Adrien Morison from the University ...

A massive feature on the moon formed due to lunar rifts, in a surprise revision to earlier theories, research shows. Previously, scientists thought the moon's Ocean of Storms was a round crater left ...

Scientists discover how 1,600 mile wide pattern formed on its surface. — -- A massive shape on the moon's surface was formed by ancient rift valleys, according to new research, revising an ...

Researchers have created a material with a soft surface that can adapt to objects in nature by reshaping itself dynamically to mimic theirs, a property that can have broad application in soft robotics ...

A rubber duck. A spinning top. A pair of pancakes. These are just a few of the shapes astronomers have observed across the solar system. While planets and some moons are almost perfectly spherical, ...
