CAMBRIDGE, Mass-- There is a story about how the modern golf ball, with its dimpled surface, came to be: In the mid-1800s, it is said, new golf balls were smooth, but became dimpled over time as ...

The Bugatti Bolide track car has some radical design features, including a massive roof-mounted air scoop with an unusual design inspiration. It turns out the engineers borrowed an aerodynamic trick ...

There is a reason why golf balls have that dimpled surface, as do the latest soccer balls and even some athletic wear. Testing over the years has proved that such irregular surfaces, on round or blunt ...

Golf balls aren’t dimpled for mere cosmetic reasons. The pattern of tiny divots actually reduces drag by cutting air resistance in half. But no matter how powerful your swing, there’s only so hard you ...

As many of you may know, golf balls are not smooth, they’re full of tiny dimples that change the aerodynamics of the ball. The lumps and bumps on a golf ball help hold the airflow closer for longer, ...

Researchers have created a way to create reversible golf ball-like dimples on any surface on the fly, there by reducing drag and improving the efficiency of vehicles. Researchers have created a way to ...
