Quantum computing promises revolutionary advancements, capable of outperforming traditional technology in speed, accuracy, ...

NIST researchers have found that non-repeating quasicrystals create defects in 3D printed aluminum that strengthen the metal.

During morphogenesis—the process by which living organisms take shape—cells collectively position themselves in specific ways ...

3D printing creates shapes that would be impossible ... That means there are five ways to rotate the crystal around an axis so that it looks the same. "Fivefold symmetry is very rare.
