Are you mowing your lawn in tidy rows for a perfectly manicured look? Here's why you should not do that every time for a ...

A new shape called an einstein has taken the math world by storm. The craggy, hat-shaped tile can cover an infinite plane with patterns that never repeat.

Examining U.S. history since independence, George observed two repeating patterns: an 80-year institutional cycle and a 50-year socioeconomic cycle.

In the 1970s, mathematician Roger Penrose discovered that two shapes could form a non-repeating tiling pattern together, prompting hopes that a single shape may be found to do this one day.

Well, mathematicians have found the perfect tile for you. A team from the University of Arkansas have discovered the first shape that can cover a wall without ever creating a repeating pattern.

In March, a troupe of mathematical tilers announced that they had discovered an “aperiodic monotile,” a shape that can tile an infinite flat surface in a pattern that does not repeat ...

Where will you be on Dec. 31, 2023 at 1:23 a.m.? Why, because 2023 ends with a unique pattern -- 123 123. The repeating pattern is so rare, in fact, that it won't even occur again in this century.

Looking for a unique way to update your kitchen backsplash or floor? This classic tile pattern is a great option for adding cozy charm to your space.

Simple shapes such as squares and equilateral triangles can tile, or snugly cover a surface without gaps, in a repeating pattern that will be familiar to anyone who has stared at a bathroom wall.

It's a 13-sided shape that they dubbed "the hat," even though it only vaguely resembles one. What is unique about this geometrical figure is that it can tile a plane without creating a repeating ...

An unsatisfying caveat in a mathematical breakthrough discovery of a single tile shape that can cover a surface without ever creating a repeating pattern has been eradicated. The newly discovered ...

Smith and his collaborators found a 14-sided shape with straight edges that also needs its reflection to tile a surface without repeating any patterns.
