Researchers have developed an efficient new way to quickly analyze complex geometric models by borrowing a computational approach that has made photorealistic animated films possible. Researchers at ...

In our modern world in which scientific visualizations increasingly look like Hollywood movies and even simplistic visualizations for teaching are using gaming engines and GPU-accelerated renderers to ...

The usual assumption is that such order requires complex causes, like electric charges, chemical reactions and finely tuned interactions between particles. Rodolfo Subert and Marjolein Dijkstra show ...

Fractal geometry is a field of math born in the 1970s and mainly developed by Benoit Mandelbrot. If you’ve already heard of fractals, you’ve probably seen the picture above. It’s called the Mandelbrot ...

Hundreds of circles, squares, and other geometric shapes once hidden by forest hint at a previously unknown ancient society that flourished in the Amazon, a new study says. Satellite images of the ...
