Revolutionary spherical solar cells are revolutionizing energy capture by means of their ability to absorb all direct, diffuse, and reflected solar radiation in every direction without requiring any ...

Spherical motors and actuators represent a versatile class of devices offering rotational motion in three dimensions. Their unique geometrical configuration enables multi‐degree-of-freedom (DOF) ...

A group of scientists from Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), the University of Jeddah, and the University of California, Berkeley, have demonstrated an ...

A common CAD operation is to take a 2D shape and extrude it into a 3D shape. But what happens if you take a gear and replicate it along a sphere and then rotate it and do it again? As you can see in ...

Spheres have always been seen as a rather fantastical form for a building. Yet the sphere is in a geometric sense the most efficient form there is – and new technical innovations are making it easier ...
