Mathematicians have long wondered how “shapes of constant width” behave in higher dimensions. A surprisingly simple ...

The researchers matched the 3D shapes to the structures of proteins whose functions are already known. Because the structure of a protein directly contributes to its biological function ...

Still, just as different combinations of building blocks can be used to construct very similar structures, proteins with different sequences may share 3D shapes and play similar biological roles.

Ah, the 3D platformer. Ever since Super Mario 64 landed and showed everyone just how good three-dimensional platforming could be, there have been developers hoping to capture just a smidgen of ...
