Tiny particles bounce light around in a unique way, a property that researchers are using to detect pollutants in water and soil samples.

Abstract: In this article, an adaptive accelerated derivative-free optimization algorithm is developed. A composition of noncommutative maps based on objective function evaluations is used to ...

Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, an MIT team has designed a technique that could transform flat panels into medical devices, habitats, and other objects without the use of tools.
