The math of even the simplest ocean waves is notoriously uncooperative. A team of Italian mathematicians has made major ...

Rose petals' unique shapes come from stress during growth. Differential growth and mechanical stresses create curled edges. Research shows petals violate a mathematical condition, causing stress.

We'll explore the fundamentals of geometric logo design. You'll discover what makes geometric logos work and how to craft geometric logos. Logos are the face of a brand. A great logo conveys the ...

Lisa Corinne Davis has stretched the possibilities of painting into a territory defined by digital systems, algorithms, flow charts, and diagrams. Lisa Corinne Davis, "Convulsive Calculation" (2025), ...

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, ...

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey is working with the Big Ten to widen the gap between the haves and have-nots in college sports. He seems surprised that’s not being received well. Sankey speaks during SEC ...

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 arguably among the smartest creatures on the planet, possessing some cognitive abilities that rival those of 5- to 7-year-old human children. Now, a new study adds basic geometry to the list ...
