Nylon, Kevlar and other synthetic fabrics: Step aside. If new scientific research pans out, people may be sporting shirts, blouses and other garments made from fibers modeled after those in the icky, ...

The three Dragon Quest Slimes are a standard blue one, an orange She-Slime that is referred to as a Red Slime, and a Lime Slime. The blue and orange ones are on green meadow bases that make them look ...

The slime mold model essentially replicated the web of filaments in the dark matter simulation, and the researchers were able to use the simulation to fine-tune the parameters of their model.

The slime consists of tens of thousands of remarkably strong threads, each 100 times thinner than a human hair. The scientists set out to investigate spinning spider-silk-like fibers from the proteins ...
