The first spectroscopic studies of krypton-98 and krypton-100 suggest that these nuclei exist in a quantum superposition of two distorted shapes. The study also provides evidence that neutron-rich ...

Far from our solar system, astronomers have spotted a world that looks less like a sphere and more like a squeezed lemon, a distorted gas giant that refuses to behave the way planetary theory says it ...

After being severely and quasi-plastically distorted, shape memory materials (SMMs) are able to recover their original shape when a right stimulus is applied 1. This phenomenon is known as the shape ...

Systematic nonlinear reprojection of the base map is one method for reducing the congestion of cartographic symbols on statistical maps. The resulting differential scale deformation can severely ...
