A multinational team of scientists have uncovered a previously undescribed shape -- they call the 'scutoid' -- adopted by epithelial cells during embryonic development that enables the cells to ...

Organisms start from one cell, which divides, again and again, building 3D tissues into a body. Epithelial cells form linings, like the skin and outer layers of organs, and lay the foundation for ...

Physicists using a supercomputer and mathematically rich formulas have captured fundamental insights about what happens when objects moving freely jam to a standstill. Their approach captures jamming ...

Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

Each week, Mansion Global tackles a topic with an elite group of designers from around the world who work on luxury properties. This week we look at how to use geometric shapes in your home’s decor.

Geometric designs dating back 1,000 years could help create futuristic materials that might one day be used to build new medical technologies and advanced satellites alike. In a presentation earlier ...

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 ...
