Some animals carry patterns so precise and mathematically exact that scientists struggle to explain how nature produced them ...

Scientists have just defined a new shape called the scutoid (SCOO-toid) while studying epithelial cells, the building blocks of embryos that eventually end up forming our skin and lining our organs ...

A quartet of mathematicians from Yorkshire University, the University of Cambridge, the University of Waterloo and the University of Arkansas has discovered a 2D geometric shape that does not repeat ...

Sonar images collected from the seafloor northwest of Cuba show a cluster of straight-edged, geometric forms sitting roughly ...

A completely new geometric shape has been discovered by a group of researchers looking into the dynamics of cells that contribute toward the embryonic development and lead to the formation of human ...

Just when you think that you have come across the most baffling optical illusion, the Internet dishes out another mind-boggling image. And adding to that list is a geometric optical illusion that may ...

Over the past decade, Professor L. Mahadevan's Soft Math Lab at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has helped establish how the ancient Japanese paper arts ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of the recent work by ...
