As organisms develop from embryos, groups of cells migrate and reshape themselves to form all manner of complex tissues.

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

Shapez 2 has quickly established itself as one of the better factory sims to roll off the games industry's colossal imagination assembly line. A more focussed, yet still expansive game of automation ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Mathematical evidence indicates that our universe is flat, but it could be infinitely big, as well. You can figure out if an object is flat with a ...

Ask someone to name a favorite shape, and they’ll probably choose one of the usual suspects: triangle, circle, maybe a trapezoid. These run-of-the-mill forms take a back seat to more sophisticated and ...

When most people think of shapes, they imagine a triangle, a rectangle, or maybe even a fancier-sounding rhombus or trapezoid. But to mathematicians, shapes encompass a vast universe of surprising ...

Crows are able to look at a handful of four-sided shapes and correctly distinguish those that exhibit geometric regularity from those that don't, according to a provocative new study. It's the first ...
