For the first time in more than 200 years, a team of mathematicians from Rice, Stanford and Indiana universities has discovered a new shape of geometrical minimal shape. Their 'genus one helicoid' ...

The bio inspired Helicoid™ technology enables improved performance of advanced composites, leading to lighter structures, while achieving excellent cost efficiency and sustainability. The deployment ...

It has been almost 230 years since French general and mathematician Jean Meusnier's study of soap films - the same kind used by children today to blow bubbles -- led to one of the fundamental ...

There are multiple ways to make composites using Helicoid Industries’ patented technology — including AFP, hand layup and filament winding — where the rotation of each ply in a composite laminate (top ...

Chiral plasmonic nanostructures are in high demand because of their unique optical properties, which are applicable to polarization control, chiral sensing and biomedical applications. An easy and ...

“The Helicoid™ technology offers excellent impact resistance under various loading conditions, including low velocity/large mass impacts, high velocity/small mass impacts, up to ballistic impacts. A ...

Single crystals of CoSi were grown using a chemical vapour transport technique. First, polycrystalline CoSi was prepared by arc-melting stoichiometric amounts of Co slices and Si pieces, which were ...

Helicoid Industries Inc. (Indio, Calif., U.S.) successfully released three use cases highlighting its Helicoid technology at this year’s CAMX. The bio-inspired solution enables improved performance of ...

A new lightweight, impact-resistant technology inspired by a tiny crustacean could change the way we play sports, and also improve wind-farm productivity and automotive fuel economy. The technology, ...

A strange shape described by mathematician Lord Kelvin in 1871 and predicted to behave unusually in a fluid has finally been fully studied in the real world thanks to 3D printing – and it seems Kelvin ...

Soap films were a favorite tool of 18th century mathematicians, and Frenchman Jean Meusnier used them in 1776 to prove a fundamental example in geometric optimization: An ordinary two-dimensional ...
