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

Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the ...

Symmetry is not just a word; it is a concept like harmony. It not only attracts our visual sense; it also plays a major role in our sense of beauty. It holds a paradox, too. Perfect symmetry, for ...

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 ...

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 ...

These reflected rectangles are example of congruent shapes. When transforming a shape, either through translation, reflection or rotation, a congruent shape is produced. Enlargements create shapes ...
