Figure 1: Colloidal crystals on curved oil–glycerol interfaces. The topology of surfaces 21 places a constraint on the total defect charge—for example the net charge on a sphere must be 4π ...

Researchers from the Riken Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan have developed heat-shrinkable polymers that can be used to laminate organic photovoltaic devices onto curved surfaces.

Researchers develop a 3D-printed, self-powered mechanoluminescent photonic skin for underwater communication. The auxetic ...

Imec has successfully integrated silicon heterojunction PV cells into curved surfaces, resulting in a 6% efficiency increase compared to passivated emitter and rear contact (PERC) half cells.

"Curved walls are intersected with sinuous ceiling ... a bizarre game of light and shadow," it added. A continuous floor surface of blue tiles throughout the home unites the interiors, while ...

To improve efficiency, it is necessary to characterize and reduce flow separation on curved surfaces. To this end, researchers have now developed a flexible, thin film microelectromechanical ...

A new technique, however, lets such patterns be more easily applied to curved surfaces – and it uses "candy" to do the job. First of all, there already are a couple of methods of applying ...

nScrypt has a "factory in a tool" printer that can produce finished electronic products in one go with 3D nano-circuits on curved flexible surfaces. (next-gen solid state batteries, radar ...

"I decided to make the toilet adapt to such surroundings and make it the starting point of a walk by partitioning the space with curved surfaces, as softly as a cloth under a traditional cabin ...

Moment makes a few different models of adhesive-mounted AirTag cases to consider for this purpose: the Curved Surface Mount for AirTags, a flexible silicon case (left in photo above); and the Hard ...
