Mystics and mathematicians alike saw geometry as something truly special: the pattern of existence itself! They all agreed ...

A study published in Nature Communications and directed by Professor Carlo Vittorio Cannistraci, Director of the Center for Complex Network Intelligence (CCNI) at the Tsinghua Laboratory of Brain and ...

Algebraic geometry and differential geometry form two pillars of modern geometry, each providing its own language and techniques to study shapes and spaces. Algebraic geometry examines solution sets ...

Utrecht University researchers Rodolfo Subert and Marjolein Dijkstra show in their latest study that complex three-dimensional networks in materials can emerge from nothing more than particle shape.

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Whether it’s a 3D printed robot chassis or a stained glass window, looking at a completed object and trying to understand how it was designed and put together can be intimidating. But upon closer ...

Coordinating dozens of muscles typically requires complex neural control, and it is unclear how much of that coordination must come from the brain versus the body’s structure. Professor Mitra Hartmann ...

No one knows how to find the smallest shape that can cover all other shapes of a certain width. But high school geometry is getting us closer to an answer. “Hey — I’ve got holes in some of my jeans.

Neuroscientists are exploring whether shapes like squares and rectangles — and our ability to recognize them — are part of what makes our species special. Credit...Video by Yoshi Sodeoka Supported by ...
