A new method for Lagrangian mesh morphing based on physics-driven sphere packing is being presented to game development and simulation communities. The technique packs spheres according to physical constraints to morph meshes, an approach relevant to graphics programmers and simulation engineers. Discussion so far is limited, but the niche appeal lies in its potential applications for deformation and shape interpolation in real-time rendering.

An international police operation led by Interpol has exposed a growing illicit market for ketamine and psychoactive substances sold through vape products.
