Study of the shell structure of Pholidostrophia (Mesopholidostrophia) nitens Williams from the Silurian of Gotland using the electron microscope indicates that the nacreous luster commonly exhibited ...

(Nanowerk News) A research group led by Naoki Fukata, International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics, National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), and a research group at Georgia Institute ...

A research team has used a machine learning approach to investigate the evolution of shell structure for nuclei far from the stability valley. The study, published in Physics Letters B and conducted ...

To devise this new structural technique, Tonkin Liu looked to the age-old structures of mollusk shells. A variety of species exhibit highly efficient shells that offer amazing protection from the ...

A moving reference frame is introduced for the analysis of accretionary shell growth. Simple principles of motion and stepwise growth define the model. At each growth step, the aperture migrates from ...
