Sleep in a glass-domed igloo, skate on a ice track across the sea, and learn to love winter the Swedish way in Luleå.

For buyers priced out of traditional custom builds, the rise of alternative architecture is offering a refreshing—and often more attainable—path ...

Have you ever paused, while sipping a chilled sharbat or juice with ice cubes floating inside, or enjoying an iced tea or ...

How core-shell nanoparticles work At the heart of the study are core-shell nanoparticles, where a core made of one or several metals is coated with an ultra-thin platinum shell. Platinum is an ...

Axial compression; buckling; cracked conical shell; finite element method; mesh-zooming technique Buckling load of the cracked conical shell- comparison of experimental (Exptl) and numerical (ABAQUS) ...

It may be mostly used for packaging, but cardboard is a surprisingly capable building material in the right hands, as highlighted by Shigeru Ban Architects with its eye-catching Blue Ocean Dome. The ...

A small team is rescuing a “ridiculous amount” of shells from restaurant trash bins and using them to rebuild oyster habitat in Long Island Sound. Credit... Supported by By Kate Selig Photographs and ...

Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...

This paper presents a novel approach for simulating acoustic-shell interaction, specifically focusing on seabed reflection effects. The interaction between acoustic waves and shell vibration is ...

Abstract: In response to the urgent need to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and enhance energy efficiency in residential buildings, this research paper evaluated an insulated concrete thin-shell ...
