In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation ...

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

In geometry, there are surfaces that do without an inside or outside—and some need at least four dimensions to exist ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

Clean lines. Simple shapes. Solid colors. These are the hallmarks of the increasingly popular geometric logo trend. Geometric minimalism has been on the rise since the 2010s. Significant brands like ...

A tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. Mathematicians have now made one that’s stable only on one side, confirming a decades-old conjecture. In 360 BCE, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Mathematical evidence indicates that our universe is flat, but it could be infinitely big, as well. You can figure out if an object is flat with a ...
