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

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

A global catalog shows how creatures across the tree of life balance rigidity with flexibility in remarkably consistent ways ...

Tessellation patterns that have fascinated mathematicians since Kepler worked out their systematics 400 years ago -- and that more recently have caught the eye of artists and crystallographers -- can ...

A new study by mathematicians at Freie Universität Berlin shows that planar tiling, also known as tessellation, is far more than a decorative ...

Surface tessellations are an arrangement of shapes which are tightly fitted, and form repeat patterns on a surface without overlapping. Imagine the pattern of a giraffe's fur, the shell of a tortoise ...

Geometric patterns have been used in art for centuries. They can be seen in the world’s greatest artworks, from Francisco José de Goya to Andy Warhol. “Geometric drawing is fun and rewarding,” says ...

A tessellation, or tiling pattern, can be repeated endlessly without showing any seams or obvious empty areas. Many such patterns are freely available online; creating your own, though, could help you ...
