In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is ...

Researchers from Trinity’s Experimental Mathematics Lab, partnering with staff in Trinity Access Programmes (TAP), welcomed ...

Remember the graph paper you used at school, the kind that’s covered with tiny squares? It’s the perfect illustration of what mathematicians call a “periodic tiling of space”, with shapes covering an ...

In March, a group of mathematicians identified a thirteen-sided shape called “the hat” that can tile a surface without any patterns repeating. Now the researchers are updating the shape to maintain ...

Simple patterns can be found almost everywhere in the environment, from drain covers to leaves and road markings, say Julie Mountain and Felicity Robinson Patterns are essential to building ...

The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper ...

In this latest episode of Maths Matters with Julie and Phil they are talking about patterns. If you take a good look around you, you might find some interesting patterns. Maybe the number of windows ...

WASHINGTON – Those wondrously intricate tile mosaics that adorn medieval Islamic architecture may cloak a mastery of geometry not matched in the West for hundreds of years. Historians have long ...
