Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

Walls that are architecturally sound and functionally versatile can also be visually striking and stylish, with a range of new products offering cutting-edge patterns and designs. Nemo Tile’s ...

The growth of rose petals exploits a geometric trick previously unobserved in nature, physicists have found. Using theoretical analysis, computer simulations and experiments with rubbery plastic ...

Scientists have discovered a way to control the growth of twisting, microscopic spirals of materials just one atom thick. The continuously twisting stacks of two-dimensional materials built by a team ...

Margaret Wertheim gave a talk for the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute at their 2016 annual Summer School. We have built a world of largely straight lines – the houses we live in, the ...
