Hard as it may be to imagine, there’s a newly defined geometric shape on the books. Based on recent calculations, mathematicians have described a new classification they now call a “soft cell.” In its ...

By using new geometric shapes in shock-absorbing material, researchers at the Universities of Gothenburg and Isfahan have ...

Sacred geometry appears all throughout nature. The arrangement of leaves on a stem, the spiral patterns of pinecones, the ...

By using new geometric shapes in the shock-absorbing material, researchers at the Universities of Gothenburg and Isfahan have developed a bicycle ...

For example, the surface of a giant doughnut is another 2D space. Through a field called geometric topology, mathematicians like me study all possible spaces in all dimensions. Whether trying to ...

Such loops are called mathematical knots. Geometric topology is a beautiful and complex subject, and there are still countless exciting questions to answer about spaces. For example, the smooth 4D ...

In addition, knots have many applications, ranging from string theory in physics to DNA recombination in biology to chirality in chemistry. What shape do you live on? Geometric topology is a beautiful ...

London’s expansive housing stock spans many eras, and almost all of it is suitable for refurbishment, not replacement. This geometric extension shows that the days of by-the-numbers house extensions ...
