Cacti use spines with conical geometry to transport water to its base. A conical shape with curvature gradient generates a Laplace pressure gradient along the droplet, which is responsible for droplet ...

The Pleistocene epoch , which started 2.6 million years ago and lasted until about 11,700 years ago, was crucially important for our hominin ancestors. Homo sapiens first evolved in this era, about ...

Abstract: We present PTPG (Poisson triangular pattern generator), a method that generates and optimizes triangular patterns for tokens on tangible surfaces. PTPG uses spatial information of markers to ...
