Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg have discovered a striking ...
A British dentist believes he has solved one of the most persistent puzzles in art history. By analyzing a small but precise ...
Abstract: We have developed a general-purpose Monte Carlo simulation code, called penMesh, that combines the accuracy of the radiation transport physics subroutines from PENELOPE and the flexibility ...
While tourists and locals watch the stunning displays on Sphere, a new addition on top is watching for Unidentified Anomalous ...
In math, the search for optimal patterns never ends. The sphere-packing problem — which asks how to cram balls into a (high-dimensional) box as efficiently as possible — is no exception. It has ...
Discusses the properties and types of triangles, explaining that a triangle is a closed figure with three sides and angles. It categorizes triangles into equilateral, isosceles, scalene, obtuse, right ...
Thurston’s paper Shapes of polyhedra and triangulations of the sphere is really remarkable. I’m writing about it in my next column for the Notices of the American Mathematical Society. Here’s a draft ...
