The science experimenters at TKOR apply layers of fiberglass to strengthen and protect a custom-built shell structure.

The maximum absorption wavelength of silicon solar cells (SSCs) is approximately 1100 nm, due to the inherent bandgap limitations of silicon materials. This constraint results in significant optical ...

Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...

The concrete shell structure of the Norwich Sports Village designed by Swiss engineer Heinz Isler in Norfolk, UK, has been Grade II-listed. According to heritage body Historic England, the structure ...

Researchers reveal the physics of jumping shell structures, improving control and agility in soft robots inspired by the mechanics of a simple popper toy. The team meticulously analyzed the jumping ...
