A new single-string method lets flat designs deploy into complex 3D structures, with potential uses in modular space habitats ...

MIT researchers have developed a new method for designing 3D structures that can be transformed from a flat configuration ...

Abstract: Two in situ measurement schemes, using micromachined resonant string structures, for the measurement of the polyimide residual stress and polyimide/metal adhesion durability have been ...

We discuss the relationship between “string structures” and the topological class λ∈H4(M,Z) on non-simply connected manifolds. We also investigate to what extent the index formula for the Dirac-Ramond ...

In the background effective field theory of heterotic string theory, the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation mechanism plays a key role. Here we reinterpret it and its magnetic dual version in terms of ...
