New robotics research enables machines to manipulate irregular objects such as fruits and tools by mapping their surface ...

Complex analysis and the geometry of domains represent a vibrant interdisciplinary area that amalgamates tools from pure mathematics with practical applications. This field investigates the properties ...

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 ...

Whether it’s a 3D printed robot chassis or a stained glass window, looking at a completed object and trying to understand how it was designed and put together can be intimidating. But upon closer ...

Debates over how geometry is understood and learned date back at least to the days of Plato, with more recent scholars concluding that only humans possess the foundations of this understanding.

No one knows how to find the smallest shape that can cover all other shapes of a certain width. But high school geometry is getting us closer to an answer. “Hey — I’ve got holes in some of my jeans.
