Mathematicians’ Favorite Shapes Hold the Key to Big Mathematical Mysteries ...

To calculate the perimeter, label and add up the length of each side. This shape is made from two rectangles. What is the perimeter of this shape? First, calculate the missing lengths \(x\) and \(y\).

Crows have a sense of geometric intuition much like our own, a new study reveals. They can detect the 'odd one out' in a set ...

The latest study has revealed that crows have a sense of geometric intuition that is very similar to ours. These birds can ...

The perimeter is the total distance around the edge of a 2D shape. Examples of units of distance are millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm) and metres (m). The perimeter of any 2D shape can be found ...

Being two-dimensional, the inhabitants of Flatland appear as lines to one another. They discern one another's shape both by touching and by seeing how the lines appear to change in length as the ...

In a recent study, researchers made a significant observation of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition ...

In 2006 Paul Rothemund of the California Institute of Technology 'folded' DNA to create two-dimensional shapes ranging from a basic rectangle to a personable smiley face (Rothemund, 2006).

An international team of physicists has made a significant observation of the BKT phase transition in a 2D dipolar gas of ultracold atoms. This groundbreaking work marks a major milestone in ...
