Often when describing patterns, they are placed in one of two categories: organic or geometric. Organic designs are ones ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The ...

Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in ...

At its heart, this research uncovers the hidden geometric principles behind the unique shape of rose petals. While scientists extensively studied shape morphing in natural sheets such as leaves and ...

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Combinatorial geometry, an area intertwining discrete mathematics and geometry, investigates the structure, properties and interrelations of polytopes—multidimensional generalisations of polygons and ...

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 ...

A new study shows that like humans, crows can recognize geometric regularity, making them the first nonhuman animal known to have this ability. Squares, triangles, circles - these geometric shapes ...

Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.
