ORB-sessed – LED Sphere
“Squaring the circle” is a mathematical challenge as old as geometry itself. The “Cube Orb” LED sphere inverts that goal and takes it to a new dimension. Notably, this spectacular project achieves its orbicular objective using only stan.....»»

EV battery report: Malaysia may be dark horse in Southeast Asia"s EV sphere
The electric vehicle (EV) battery industry has just started in Malaysia. The country is blessed with mineral resources. Research from the Minerals and Geoscience Department revealed that Malaysia contains a total of RM 4.11 trillion (approximately US.....»»
Can You Make a Hollow Metal Sphere So Big That It Floats?
Theoretically, yes. But it’s not terribly practical. And it might mean you’re a supervillain......»»
Symmetries Reveal Clues About the Holographic Universe
How might our universe emerge like a hologram out of a two-dimensional sheet? An infinitely distant “celestial sphere” could hold answers......»»
Phase-change material enables active tuning of lattice Kerker effect
The phenomenon of completely eliminated backscattering in a hypothetical magnetic sphere is called the Kerker effect. It has been generalized in nanophotonics and meta-optics, and has recently been applied to such functionalities as scattering manage.....»»
Void-confinement effect of nanoreactor promotes heterogeneous catalysis
A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently obtained a catalyst composed of the hollow carbon sphere and inner Ni nanoparticles (Ni@HCS), which displayed good performance when.....»»
Cheops reveals a rugby-ball-shaped exoplanet
ESA's exoplanet mission Cheops has revealed that an exoplanet orbiting its host star within a day has a deformed shape more like that of a rugby ball than a sphere. This is the first time that the deformation of an exoplanet has been detected, offeri.....»»
Multi-sphere interactions underlie impacts of the Arctic on Eurasian climate change
Observations suggest a warming trend in the Arctic, and a cooling trend in Eurasia during the past several decades. Is there a cause-and-effect relationship in this pattern? The question has been hotly debated for quite a while......»»
Delay laws on firearms purchases save lives
Legislation that enforces a 'cooling off' period between purchasing and acquiring a firearm reduces impulse purchases. It also limits the number of homicides, especially in the domestic sphere. This is demonstrated by behavioral economist David Schin.....»»
How big tech is changing who"s in charge of our rights and freedoms
Since the end of the 20th century, daily life for most of us has increasingly moved into the digital sphere. This has led to the rise of the so-called "onlife" dimension, which represents the intimate intertwining of our online and offline lives. One.....»»
Researchers recreate deep-Earth conditions to see how iron copes with extreme stress
Far below you lies a sphere of solid iron and nickel about as wide as the broadest part of Texas: the Earth's inner core. The metal at the inner core is under pressure about 360 million times higher than we experience in our everyday lives and temper.....»»
Nanoscale self-assembling salt-crystal "origami" balls envelop liquids
Researchers have developed a technique whereby they can spontaneously encapsulate microscopic droplets of water and oil emulsion in a tiny sphere made of salt crystals—sort of like a minute, self-constructing origami soccer ball filled with liquid......»»
Using optical microscopy to take a look beneath the skin of "surfactant onions"
Surfactant onions form when layers of surfactant molecules organize around each other into a sphere. They are easily pictured by thinking of their vegetable namesake. Until now it has not been clear whether surfactant onions are perfect layered struc.....»»
80 percent of people in Switzerland feel fully integrated into society
Social exclusion is currently a topic that's being broadly discussed in the public sphere. It generally refers to a multidimensional process that is shaped by changes in the economic structure over the past few decades and is pushing an increasing sh.....»»
