Researchers learn to predict how crystals take shape from their internal chemistry, even when the crystal lacks symmetry. A crystal's shape is determined by its inherent chemistry, a characteristic ...

A shape has a line of symmetry when the folded part sits perfectly on top with all edges matching. The number of lines of symmetry in a regular polygon is equal to the number of sides. A shape has ...

The human visual system exhibits a remarkable ability to decipher the three-dimensional structure of the world from two-dimensional retinal images. Central to this process is the utilisation of shape ...

Scientists discover how a hidden crystal pattern in advanced materials can control how they emit light, offering new ways to guide ultrafast signals using lasers. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Modern ...
