Often when describing patterns, they are placed in one of two categories: organic or geometric. Organic designs are ones ...

The film explores different geometric shapes, focusing on cylinders, rectangular prisms, and pyramids. It describes the properties of each shape, such as the curved surface of a cylinder, the ...

Circles, triangles and squares. One of the first things we learn as children are basic geometric shapes. And they stay with us throughout our lives. Maybe it’s that sense of familiarity that makes ...

Organisms start from one cell, which divides, again and again, building 3D tissues into a body. Epithelial cells form linings, like the skin and outer layers of organs, and lay the foundation for ...

Crows are arguably among the smartest creatures on the planet, possessing some cognitive abilities that rival those of 5- to 7-year-old human children. Now, a new study adds basic geometry to the list ...

How few corners can a shape have and still tile the plane?” mathematician Gábor Domokos asked me over pizza. His deceptively simple question was about the geometry of tilings, also called ...

A look back at three of the biggest stories in physics this year, including evidence that dark energy may be weakening, the discovery of a supersolid, and new advances in quantum geometry. We ...

Proving that two polygons have the same area can be as easy as cutting them up and rearranging the pieces. Gina the geometry student stayed up too late last night doing her homework while watching The ...
