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 ...

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 ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of the recent work by ...

Through modeling and experiments, researchers uncover a previously undescribed shape -- they call a 'scutoid' -- adopted by packed epithelial cells during embryonic development; discovery could lead ...
