Watch the video to learn how 3D shapes, such as a cube, can be created from nets, an arrangement of 2D shapes. Let's talk about nets. More specifically, mathematical nets. A net in maths is a flat ...

Hard as it may be to imagine, there’s a newly defined geometric shape on the books. Based on recent calculations, mathematicians have described a new classification they now call a “soft cell.” In its ...

John Edmark makes his artwork with geometric formulas ... He studies shapes and finds unexpected patterns, and then renders them into moving physical objects with 3D printing and laser-cutting.

Mathematicians from New York University and the University of British Columbia have resolved a decades-old geometric problem, the Kakeya conjecture in 3D, which studies the shape left behind by a ...
