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

The same researchers behind the 13-sided "hat" shape have stumbled upon a version that improves upon the original in a very important way. Reading time 2 minutes In March, a group of mathematicians ...

Look carefully! Mathematicians have invented a new 13-sided shape that can be tiled infinitely without ever repeating a pattern. They call it "the einstein." For decades, mathematicians wondered if it ...
