Physicists recently mapped the hidden shape that underlies the quantum behaviors of a crystal, using a new method that’s ...

A 40-year-old conjecture on shapes’ cross sections is finally proven ...

Belgian mathematician Jean Bourgain posed a seemingly simple question that continued to puzzle researchers for decades. No ...

A physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and his colleagues have identified quantum geometry as an opportunity to increase the superconducting temperature of two-dimensional ...

What emerges isn’t a timeline, but a relational web—a frozen geometry of contextual meaning. In other words, before a model says a single word, it builds a map. And these maps or blocks exist ...

Now, a new study adds basic geometry to the list of subjects these brainy birds seem to be able to master. In a paper published in the journal Science Advances last week, researchers report that ...

Explains the concepts of volume for various geometric solids ... emphasizing the relationships between these shapes. For example, the volume of a pyramid is one-third that of a prism with the ...

As you consider the best way to approach, move into and/or pass through each of these potentially dangerous transitions, you are using geometry even though you swore you’d never have a need for ...

Scientists used Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) to map electron geometry. The discovery could advance quantum computing, superconductors, and material sciences. Photon Beam ...

This breakthrough solves a decades-old geometry problem by showing how to build objects in dimensions that we cannot envision. “It’s a stunning theory,” says Gil Kalai, a professor at the ...
