Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

The dainty veins gracing the wings of dragonflies and other insects are like fingerprints: Each wing displays a distinct pattern. A randomized mathematical process may help explain how certain thin ...

Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the ...

A new study by mathematicians at Freie Universität Berlin shows that planar tiling, also known as tessellation, is far more than a decorative ...

All complex correlated systems, from Arctic melt ponds to the Internet, appear to be governed by the same math as a random matrix. In 1999, while sitting at a bus stop in Cuernavaca, Mexico, a Czech ...
