We consider the problem of capturing shape characteristics on specular (refractive and reflective) surfaces that are nearly flat. These surfaces are difficult to model using traditional methods based ...

You can DIY a lazy Susan to keep small items organized with the help of a couple of cake pans, some marbles, and a pair of ...

Thanks to its airplane-shaped folding, the paper plane is statically stable in the vacuum-like upper reaches of space. It ...
