Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...
A new study by mathematicians at Freie Universität Berlin shows that planar tiling, also known as tessellation, is far more than a decorative ...
When a laser experiment fails to produce the expected flash of light, most researchers would assume something went wrong with ...
We take photos faster than ever, with research suggesting around 1.8 trillion are snapped worldwide each year—about 5 billion a day. But how many of those are just throwaway selfies or random ...
