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

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

The suitability of the Miura-ori for engineering deployable or foldable structures is due to its high degree of symmetry embodied in its periodicity, and four important geometric properties: it can be ...

Surface tessellations are an arrangement of shapes which are tightly fitted, and form repeat patterns on a surface without overlapping. Imagine the pattern of a giraffe's fur, the shell of a tortoise ...
