Determining a galaxy’s 3D shape While spiral galaxies tend to be small, rotate quickly and have a well-recognized pancake shape, giant elliptical galaxies rotate slowly and have a blobby ...

Elliptical galaxies lack the swirling arms of their more well-known siblings, spiral galaxies. Instead, they bear the rounded shape of an ellipse, a stretched-out circle. One of the most famous ...

For the last three decades, biologists and computer scientists have dedicated significant effort to quantifying the 3D shape ...

astronomers continue to discover exoplanets whose orbits are largely elliptical, meaning their atmospheric and surface compositions are constantly in a state of flux. What new connections between ...

Scientists from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have created wood ink that can be extruded into flat wooden structures, self-morphing into complex 3D shapes as they dry and shrink. The ...
