When most people think of shapes, they imagine a triangle, a rectangle, or maybe even a fancier-sounding rhombus or trapezoid. But to mathematicians, shapes encompass a vast universe of surprising ...

Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...

Dive into a factory-building game with the focus on just that, construct sprawling multi-level factories and satisfying production lines without limits. shapez 2 is a top-down factory-building game ...

Mathematicians have long wondered how “shapes of constant width” behave in higher dimensions. A surprisingly simple construction has given them an answer. In 1986, after the space shuttle Challenger ...

Ending a six-decade-old mathematical mystery with the help of computational methods, a trio of Chinese scientists have proven that manifolds of Kervaire invariant one do exist in dimension 126. The ...
