Catenary
In physics and geometry, a catenary is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends in a uniform gravitational field.
Circle
A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre.
MEMS
MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) is the technology of microscopic devices incorporating both electronic and moving parts.
Non-circular gear
A non-circular gear (NCG) is a special gear design with special characteristics and purpose.
See Square wheel and Non-circular gear
Reinventing the wheel
To reinvent the wheel is to attempt to duplicate—most likely with inferior results—a basic method that has already previously been created or optimized by others.
See Square wheel and Reinventing the wheel
Reuleaux triangle
A Reuleaux triangle is a curved triangle with constant width, the simplest and best known curve of constant width other than the circle.
See Square wheel and Reuleaux triangle
Science News
Science News (SN) is an American bi-weekly magazine devoted to articles about new scientific and technical developments, typically gleaned from recent scientific and technical journals.

Square
In Euclidean geometry, a square is a regular quadrilateral, which means that it has four sides of equal length and four equal angles (90-degree angles, π/2 radian angles, or right angles).
Stan Wagon
Stanley Wagon is a Canadian-American mathematician, a professor emeritus of mathematics at Macalester College in Minnesota.

United States
The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
See Square wheel and United States
University of Iowa
The University of Iowa (UI, U of I, UIowa, or simply Iowa) is a public research university in Iowa City, Iowa, United States.

Wheel
A wheel is a rotating component (typically circular in shape) that is intended to turn on an axle bearing. Square wheel and wheel are wheels.
Winnetka, Illinois
