With the help of powerful computers, researchers discovered a four-sided shape that naturally rests on one side, and built a ...

Hungarian scholar Gábor Domokos aims to understand the physical world by describing its forms in the simplest possible geometry.

How few corners can a shape have and still tile the plane?” mathematician Gábor Domokos asked me over pizza. His deceptively simple question was about the geometry of tilings, also called ...

Domokos realized that he could also develop a mathematical description not just of averages, but of potentiality: Which collections of shapes are even mathematically possible when something falls ...

Now Domokos had the average shapes produced by splitting a flat surface or a three-dimensional block. But then a larger quest emerged. Domokos realized that he could also develop a mathematical ...
