Sacred geometry, a term that immediately evokes curiosity, refers to geometric forms and patterns that appear throughout ...

The transition from the old point of view to the new has revealed the true nature of geometry, and thence of mathematics in general, and has helped to build up the theory of relativity.

Two recent developments suggest how familiar properties of gravity and matter may emerge from the quantum geometry that underlies loop quantum gravity. In everyday situations, and even in current ...

Marcus du Sautoy describes how fractal geometry can be used to describe natural objects, and how it is used in digital animation. Trees use the simple rule of trying to maximise surface area ...

What role does this geometry play in competition?" "Biology is complex," Yunker says. In nature, the surface a biofilm is ...

Learning from geometry in nature, the tower's form is its strength. The super-light, super-thin and single-surface structure uses the least material to achieve the most in both style and form.

Work reveals new ways to understand and manipulate electrons in materials. MIT physicists, in collaboration with colleagues, ...
