Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

The theorized unseen structure of spacetime could also explain of the outstanding questions about the accelerating expansion ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

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

Can you imagine the imprint a four-dimensional hexagon might leave as it passes through your three-dimensional kitchen table? Probably not, but some people can. One such person was mathematician ...

Usama has a passion for video games and a talent for capturing their magic in writing. He brings games to life with his words, and he's been fascinated by games for as long as he's had a joystick in ...

In our mind’s eye, the universe seems to go on forever. But using geometry we can explore a variety of three-dimensional shapes that offer alternatives to “ordinary” infinite space. When you gaze out ...

Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...
