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.

See Square wheel and Catenary

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.

See Square wheel and Circle

MEMS

MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) is the technology of microscopic devices incorporating both electronic and moving parts.

See Square wheel and MEMS

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).

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.
