Mind and space bending physics on a convenient chip

Scientists present new mathematical tools to better understand simulations of hyperbolic spaces. Their new toolbox includes what they call a 'dictionary between discrete and continuous geometry' to help researchers translate experimental results into a more useful form. With these tools, researchers can better explore the topsy-turvy world of hyperbolic space.

Researchers advance drug delivery systems to treat connective tissue disorders

Researchers have devised tiny cargo-carrying systems many times smaller than a human hair, made from molecules called peptides that help provide structure for cells and tissues. The team has reported advances in the nanoparticle design that allow them to control the shape of the nanoparticles to allow them to better bind to tissue in the body and stay in a particular location.
