There are at least six ways that 3D objects can be modeled with computer software. What makes one of them, surface modeling, so special? Here, we focus on surface modeling. First, let’s look at all ...

When University of Texas at Dallas researchers tested a new surface that they designed to collect and remove condensates rapidly, the results surprised them. The mechanical engineers' design collected ...

In highly competitive industries such as automotive, it is increasingly design that differentiates a vehicle from its competitors. And because automotive manufacturers are pressured to get cars to ...

Scientists have developed a new theory to explain heat transfer on advanced surfaces. The theory is critical to the researchers' work to develop innovative surfaces for applications such as harvesting ...
