Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...

The design of furniture consists of two major components: geometric modeling and physical validity of shapes. While advances in software for 3D modeling have made it easier for even inexperienced ...

Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have developed a new method for effectively modeling seed particles composed of 100–200 atoms using a supercomputer. They found that the temperature and ...

These shapes were produced with Handy-Potter, a new design tool developed at the C Design Lab in Purdue's School of Mechanical Engineering, that enables people to create and modify three-dimensional ...

The Computer Science department conducts research in a wide range of fields. Currently, we have labs actively engaged in the following areas: Artificial Intelligence, Shape Modeling, Data Mining, ...

Simulated predicted shape distribution for magic-sized silver clusters (purple insets) assembled at different solvent temperatures. These predictions can guide experiments to target seeds for crystal ...

Direct modelers provide a hands-on way to create and edit solid models. An emerging technology called “direct modeling” provides a new way to interact with solid models. As the approach becomes ...

The ESA has released a new 3D shape model of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This model integrates the latest images taken by the Rosetta spacecraft, and includes previously unknown features. It can ...
