Einstein's dream of a unified field theory accomplished?
During the latter part of the 20th century, string theory was put forward as a unifying theory of physics foundations. String theory has not, however, fulfilled expectations. That is why we are of the view that the scientific ...
Frustration incorporated: How mismatched geometries can enhance material strength and toughness
Anyone who's ever tried tiling a floor, a backsplash or even an arts-and-crafts project probably knows the emotional frustration of working with pieces whose shapes don't perfectly complement each other. It turns out, though, ...
