Chemistry isn't always essential for order: How simple geometry gives rise to complex materials
Utrecht University researchers Rodolfo Subert and Marjolein Dijkstra show in their latest study that complex three-dimensional networks in materials can emerge from nothing more than particle shape.
Researchers have developed a new approach for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, and provide evidence that cortices across mammalian species resemble a universal, fractal pattern.
Peter Badge. Mathematics often feels like a collection of isolated islands. Each one operates with its own rules, and building bridges between them is notoriously difficult. Today, the Norwegian ...

Understanding why rose petals curl: How stress, geometry, and biology shape their elegant forms
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.
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 ...
Researchers from the Indian Institutes of Technology have developed a computationally efficient method to track the three-dimensional movements of surgical instruments using only standard ...
