"My former colleague at Penn State, Sven Bilén, is an expert in electromagnetics. I showed him some origami structures I'd been working on a few years ago. He was intrigued and asked if origami could ...

The new food pyramid has turned things upside down. Literally speaking, the image representing the newest Dietary Guidelines for Americans is itself flipped from the pyramid of the past. But the US ...

He was intrigued and asked if origami could be used for deployable electromagnetic waveguides. We started exploring this idea since then," said Xin Ning. "Because the most common electromagnetic ...

In an EM wave absorbent chamber, an LED is illuminated at 10 cm by microwave energy delivered through a twist bellows waveguide. Scale bar is 100 mm. The inserts upper left show the twist bellows ...

Two-dimensional (2D) shapes are completely flat. 2D shapes can be found printed in a book or on a website. 2D shapes have sides and corners. A rectangle has 4 straight sides and 4 corners. A square is ...

High-powered satellites use electromagnetic waveguides to deliver energy from one component to another. Typically, they are made of heavy, inflexible metal tubes with an even heavier flange on either ...

Abstract: A new method powered by an artificial neural network (ANN) is studied for resonant-mode recognitions of a rectangular dielectric resonator antenna (DRA). Different rectangular DRAs were ...

Box pleating is arguably the standard framework of modern super-complex origami designs, as the creases are much more predictable and manageable than those found in the traditional 22.5 degree system ...

Egyptologists have announced the discovery of a secret chamber located right above the main entrance to the Great Pyramid of Egypt. However, what it was created for is still a mystery. On Thursday, ...

Abstract: Many modern object detectors demonstrate outstanding performances by using the mechanism of looking and thinking twice. In this paper, we explore this mechanism in the backbone design for ...

Some standard modules for making 3d shapes with attachment support, and function forms that produce a VNF. Also included are shortcuts cylinders in each orientation and extended versions of the ...
