From four-dimensional hexagons to the mind-bending amplituhedron, geometrical shapes are wilder than we learn at school - and ...

Standard geometric objects can be described by simple rules—every straight line, for example, is just y = ax + b—and they stand in neat relation to each other: Connect two points to make a ...

These configurations are encoded in geometric objects called phase spaces, which feature in a flourishing mathematical field called symplectic geometry.

A new study shows that like humans, crows can recognize geometric regularity, making them the first nonhuman animal known to have this ability. Squares, triangles, circles - these geometric shapes ...

Geometric shapes appear below the Megaloceros, a giant extinct deer, in the Lascaux, France, cave paintings, which are thought to be 17,000 years old.

But if geometric shapes are nothing other than sets, then we must find out how to measure abstract sets. On supporting science journalism. If you're enjoying this article, ...
