Scientists have just defined a new shape called the scutoid (SCOO-toid) while studying epithelial cells, the building blocks of embryos that eventually end up forming our skin and lining our organs ...

A completely new geometric shape has been discovered by a group of researchers looking into the dynamics of cells that contribute toward the embryonic development and lead to the formation of human ...

Geometry may come from navigation skills shared with animals, while human language allows those spatial abilities to become ...

Our world is made up of elegant shapes — there's the square, the rectangle, the sphere, the prism and many more. But sometimes, these shapes don't quite fit nature's game board. Sometimes, you also ...

How can the behavior of elementary particles and the structure of the entire universe be described using the same mathematical concepts? This question is at the heart of the recent work by ...

Our universe appears flat—but this observation still leaves plenty of options for its true shape. In fact, our cosmos could resemble a donut ...

Proving that two polygons have the same area can be as easy as cutting them up and rearranging the pieces. Gina the geometry student stayed up too late last night doing her homework while watching The ...
