Far from our solar system, astronomers have spotted a world that looks less like a sphere and more like a squeezed lemon, a ...

Quantum engineers are starting to think bigger, literally, as they look for ways to move fragile quantum information without ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the ...

The international study, involving Professor Simon Cox from Aberystwyth University, reveals how diverse particles self-organize into identical geometric patterns when confined. The work is published ...

To understand how Americans are faring economically these days, it's helpful to consider the eleventh letter of the alphabet. Experts describe the current U.S. economy as "K-shaped," a reference to ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Clean lines. Simple shapes. Solid colors. These are the hallmarks of the increasingly popular geometric logo trend. Geometric minimalism has been on the rise since the 2010s. Significant brands like ...

With atomic stenciling, researchers have made a variety of patterned patchy nanoparticles with new shapes and properties. Illustration by Maayan Harel. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Inspired by an artist’s ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Fifty years ago, “fractal” was born. In a 1975 book, the Polish-French-American mathematician Benoit B. Mandelbrot coined the term to describe a family of rough, fragmented shapes that fall outside ...
