Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...
The same researchers behind the 13-sided "hat" shape have stumbled upon a version that improves upon the original in a very important way. Reading time 2 minutes In March, a group of mathematicians ...
Researchers have discovered a new 14-sided shape called the Spectre that can be used to tile a surface without ever creating a repeating pattern, ending a decades' long mathematical hunt. When you ...
Often when describing patterns, they are placed in one of two categories: organic or geometric. Organic designs are ones based on natural things, like the silhouette of a tree or fur pattern of an ...
Mathematicians have discovered a single shape that can be used to cover a surface completely without ever creating a repeating pattern. The long-sought shape is surprisingly simple but has taken ...
Nature follows mathematical rules and creates repeating patterns across completely different organisms and environments.
