Software with the unwieldy moniker GW3Dfeatures lets users create complex curves and surfaces. It's an addin for SolidWorks' 3D CAD system. The curve and surfacing software works so well inside the ...

The nanostructures from Katja Höflich's HZB team are shaped like corkscrews and made of silver. Mathematically, such a nano antenna can be regarded as an one-dimensional line that forms a helix, ...

Researchers have derived analytically how corkscrew-shaped nano-antennas interact with light. For the first time, an HZB team has derived analytically how corkscrew-shaped nano-antennas interact with ...

We precisely measure the force-free swimming speed of a rotating helix in viscous and viscoelastic fluids. The fluids are highly viscous to replicate the low Reynolds number environment of ...
