How Molecule Shape Affects Their Behavior

July 7, 2025

Scientists have been curious about how the shape of molecules influences their behavior. Specifically, they want to understand how changes in the length-to-width ratio of molecules can lead to the formation of different phases, known as mesophases. This is important because these phases have unique

Building a Better Phantom: A Tetrahedral Mesh for Chinese Women

January 28, 2025

Creating detailed surface phantoms of Chinese women of childbearing age is great, but they can't be used directly in Monte Carlo simulations. Instead, these surface phantoms have to be turned into voxel phantoms, which might lose some of their initial advantages. So, the goal of this study is to bui
