Researchers uncover geometric principles governing how particles self-assemble, solving a long-standing challenge in ...

Often when describing patterns, they are placed in one of two categories: organic or geometric. Organic designs are ones ...

A new study shows that like humans, crows can recognize geometric regularity, making them the first nonhuman animal known to have this ability. Squares, triangles, circles - these geometric shapes ...

The curved shape of a zebrafish egg causes unequal cell divisions, creating larger cells near the animal pole and smaller ...

The notion of a simple equation that you can use to generate a wide variety of geometric shapes is an immensely appealing one. Johan Gielis of Antwerp, Belgium, proposes one such formula in the March ...

Circles, triangles and squares. One of the first things we learn as children are basic geometric shapes. And they stay with us throughout our lives. Maybe it’s that sense of familiarity that makes ...

Crows are arguably among the smartest creatures on the planet, possessing some cognitive abilities that rival those of 5- to 7-year-old human children. Now, a new study adds basic geometry to the list ...

Crows are able to look at a handful of four-sided shapes and correctly distinguish those that exhibit geometric regularity from those that don't, according to a provocative new study. It's the first ...
