In 2015, Pedro Reis, a mechanical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, described physical laws for the geometric patterns that form on deflated silicon balls.

There have been exciting milestones. In 2015, Pedro Reis, a mechanical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, described physical laws for the geometric patterns that form on deflated ...

This is a very different situation from the monohedral tilings that use regular hexagons. In those tilings, the repetitive structure is unavoidable. The geometry of the tiles themselves forces the ...

Math underlies many of the art pieces M.C. Escher created, because he was fascinated with the idea of depicting infinity in various ways, producing infinitely repeatable patterns known as ...

Google researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) math system that can out-smart gold medalists in ...

A crow’s math skills include geometry Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ...
