Researchers at MIT and the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris presented the first
mathematical model of a strand of curly hair [mit.edu]. They used laboratory experiments and computer simulations to obtain a simplified model that can predict the shape of a hair. Their results can have applications in the computer animation film industry, and can be used by engineers to predict the shape of steel pipes, tubing, and network cables.
