To look for the answer, the scientists have been using an X-ray microtomography machine to take pictures of crumpled balls of paper. Â This machine works much as a CT scan does.

He achieved as much with his 1995 creation, “Work No. 88,” a single piece of A4 paper crumpled into a ball. ... The news that crumpled paper obeys a state variable — or a crease law, ...

The crumpled balls can move apart when lithium deposits and then readily assemble back together when the lithium is depleted. Because miniature paper balls are conductive and allow lithium ions to ...

About five years ago, Huang discovered crumpled graphene balls — a novel type of ultrafine particles that resemble crumpled paper balls. The particles are made by drying tiny water droplets with ...

Back in 2007, photographer Thomas Brown had an idea to make a paper ball look like a meteor. However, as he started showing his friends and colleagues his work, people were seeing everything but ...

Steve Silverman earlier this week sat at the front of his fourth-grade classroom during a reading exercise, pulled out a crumpled ball of paper and lobbed it at a student. With their hands ...

She began comparing the brains in her lab’s database to paper that she’d screwed up at her desk. “I spent the entire afternoon like I was in kindergarten, making crumpled sheets of paper and ...

A few minutes into a 2018 talk at the University of Michigan, Ian Tobasco picked up a large piece of paper and crumpled it into a seemingly disordered ball of chaos. He held it up for the audience ...

Literally taking inspiration from a trashcan of scrunched up paper, the engineers came up with a way of crumpling graphene sheets into balls by first atomizing them into tiny water droplets.

He achieved as much with his 1995 creation, “Work No. 88,” a single piece of A4 paper crumpled into a ball. ... (A crumpled ball is a collection of d-cones connected by ridges.) ...

"Closely packed, the crumpled graphene balls operate like a highly uniform, continuous solid," said Jiayan Luo, the paper's co-corresponding author and professor of chemical engineering at Tianjin ...
