The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper ...

Creatively tiling a bathroom floor isn’t just a stressful task for DIY home renovators. It is also one of the hardest problems in mathematics. For centuries, experts have been studying the special ...

Looking for a challenging and stimulating activity? Try solving a pattern-based puzzle posted on Instagram by Optical Illusions. The puzzle presents three patterns and asks you to predict the next ...

Infinitely many copies of a 13-sided shape can be arranged with no overlaps or gaps in a pattern that never repeats. David Smith, Joseph Samuel Myers, Craig S. Kaplan and Chaim Goodman-Strauss (CC BY ...

Mathematicians have discovered a single shape that can be used to cover a surface completely without ever creating a repeating pattern. The long-sought shape is surprisingly simple but has taken ...

Because morphogenesis of organism is a dynamic process in which many elements (cells and genes) are involved, use of mathematical models and computer simulation is indispensable. We have identified a ...

Optical illusions are images that trick our eyes and brains. They make us see things differently from how they are. Sometimes, we may see a shape or object that is not there, or we might notice hidden ...
