Imagine a cartoonist drawing a watch. It might have a couple lines for the hands, a couple lines for the strap and a circle for the case. But what if it were squarish? You probably wouldn’t give it a ...

Figure 1: Self-assembly of molecular shapes using single-stranded tiles. Native gel electrophoresis of samples stained with SYBR Safe gave a 17% assembly yield (referred to as ‘gel yield’), calculated ...

Spotting Earth-like planets is nearly impossible with conventional telescopes, but researchers propose a bold fix: a rectangular design that can separate a planet’s faint glow from its blinding star.

A new study finds a rectangular mirror design could uncover 25+ habitable exoplanets in just 3.5 years using current technology. The design solves a longstanding problem in exoplanet detection: ...

A bold new proposal from a team of astrophysicists, led by Heidi Newberg from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, suggests that a rectangular telescope could revolutionize the search for Earth-like ...

The Art Deco-influenced shape has returned in several new models. By Robin Swithinbank Close your eyes and think of a watch. Most people picture a round shape, perhaps with sloping lugs that hold a ...

The search for extraterrestrial life represents one of humanity’s most profound scientific quests—one that could fundamentally reshape our understanding of our place in the universe. Yet current ...
