On a Saturday afternoon in the fall of 2021, Silvio Decurtins was leafing through a paper with a title that could have been pulled from a comic book for mathematically inclined teens: “Plato’s Cube ...

A tessellation or tiling is a way to cover something, usually a flat two-dimensional surface, by shapes that fit together perfectly so there are no gaps. Usually when people think about tessellations, ...

An international team of researchers lead by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered a reaction path that produces exotic layers with semiregular structures. These kinds of materials ...

Tessellation is when shapes fit together in a pattern with no gaps or overlaps. These squares make a tessellating pattern. You can make a tessellating pattern from just one type of shape or a number ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Tessellations are created when a shape is repeated over and over again, covering a plane without any ...

Photoshop CC tutorial showing how to create a tessellation pattern from scratch. Tessellations are repeating patterns comprised of negative and positive tiles that interlock together, similar to a ...

It’s a bit too small to cover the floor of the laboratory, but chemists in Europe have used self-assembling molecules to create a nanoscale version of an Archimedean tiling pattern. Archimedean ...

Researchers have discovered a reaction path that produces exotic layers with semiregular structures. These kinds of materials are interesting because they frequently possess extraordinary properties.
