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

Circles, triangles and squares. One of the first things we learn as children are basic geometric shapes. And they stay with us throughout our lives. Maybe it’s that sense of familiarity that makes ...

A multinational team of scientists have uncovered a previously undescribed shape -- they call the 'scutoid' -- adopted by epithelial cells during embryonic development that enables the cells to ...

Hard as it may be to imagine, there’s a newly defined geometric shape on the books. Based on recent calculations, mathematicians have described a new classification they now call a “soft cell.” In its ...

Geometric patterns are classics in modern design speak. But one that especially resonates these days is the triangle. Specifically, triangles laid end to end to create mesmerizing larger-scale ...

When you purchase an independently reviewed book through our site, we earn an affiliate commission. “Girls can’t do Euclid: can they, sir?” “The Mill on the Floss” contains one of George Eliot’s ...

Organisms start from one cell, which divides, again and again, building 3D tissues into a body. Epithelial cells form linings, like the skin and outer layers of organs, and lay the foundation for ...

Scientists have just defined a new shape called the scutoid (SCOO-toid) while studying epithelial cells, the building blocks of embryos that eventually end up forming our skin and lining our organs ...

Geometric designs dating back 1,000 years could help create futuristic materials that might one day be used to build new medical technologies and advanced satellites alike. In a presentation earlier ...

A massive feature on the moon formed due to lunar rifts, in a surprise revision to earlier theories, research shows. Previously, scientists thought the moon's Ocean of Storms was a round crater left ...

In a groundbreaking development, astronomers have recorded a perfect geometric signal from deep space. This remarkable discovery could potentially shed new light on the enigmatic universe and the ...
