The engineers are in the kitchen, again. By Marion Renault Don’t be fooled. This pasta may look like your average fettuccine. But cook it for seven minutes in boiling water and it will transform, ...

Mathematicians are creating their own version of the periodic table that will provide a vast directory of all the possible shapes in the universe across three, four and five dimensions, linking shapes ...

The Delhi HC said that the shape of the Birkin bag, the Hermès trademark, as well as two stylised versions of the Hermès mark, deserved to be declared as well-known trademarks. The Delhi HC said that ...
