Abstract:
Modeling with paper clips? No, a general method for the fabrication of complex three-dimensional (3D) microstructures is reported. The 3D structure is decomposed into substructures that can be patterned onto separate substrates and then these substrustures are joined to form the desired microstructure. The picture shows an optical micrograph of a free-linked nickel chain mail.

Work Done Over an Inclined Plane
The work done by gravity to move a rigid body, or the work done by an opposing force to move a rigid body against gravity, can be calculated using the center-of-mass framework. It is the line integral of the force of gravity over the path, considered positive if...

Body Planes
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...
