Scientists are using AI to build a “periodic table of shapes” filled with Fano varieties—the basic “atomic structure” of geometry.
A new shape called an einstein has taken the math world by storm. The craggy, hat-shaped tile can cover an infinite plane with patterns that never repeat.
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 ability to perceive geometric regularity.
A new study shows that like humans, crows can recognize geometric regularity, making them the first nonhuman animal known to have this ability.
The mathematical study of how repeating tiles fit together usually involves pointed shapes like triangles or squares, but these aren't normally found in the natural world ...
A new study introduces choice engineering—a powerful new way to guide decisions using math instead of guesswork. By applying carefully designed mathematical models, researchers found they could ...
But it turns out that shapes with nonnegative Ricci curvature are more flexible and less well behaved than mathematicians had expected — complicating their understanding of the relationship between ...
Nicknamed “the Hat,” the 13-sided shape can tesselate with itself without ever repeating a pattern, solving a 60-year-old mathematical mystery.
A mathematician has calculated the ideal shape for a beer glass to keep the liquid inside as cool as possible ...
