The catenary is the curve that a free-hanging chain assumes under its own weight, and
thought to be a “true mathematical and mechanical form” in architecture by Robert Hooke in …

Throughout the 19th and 20th century, chirality has mostly been associated with chemistry.
However, while chirality can be very useful for understanding molecules, molecules are not …

Chirality describes the geometric property of an object that is not superimposable on its
mirror image and has been a pivotal concept in chemistry and biology since the 19th …
