A study published in Nature Communications and directed by Professor Carlo Vittorio Cannistraci, Director of the Center for Complex Network Intelligence (CCNI) at the Tsinghua Laboratory of Brain and ...
Are two sets of data genuinely different, or is it because of randomness? This question, known as the two-sample testing problem, becomes notoriously difficult in modern datasets, because they are ...
Algebraic geometry and differential geometry form two pillars of modern geometry, each providing its own language and techniques to study shapes and spaces. Algebraic geometry examines solution sets ...
Coordinating dozens of muscles typically requires complex neural control, and it is unclear how much of that coordination must come from the brain versus the body’s structure. Professor Mitra Hartmann ...
Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...
Whether it’s a 3D printed robot chassis or a stained glass window, looking at a completed object and trying to understand how it was designed and put together can be intimidating. But upon closer ...
Our universe appears flat—but this observation still leaves plenty of options for its true shape. In fact, our cosmos could resemble a donut ...
No one knows how to find the smallest shape that can cover all other shapes of a certain width. But high school geometry is getting us closer to an answer. “Hey — I’ve got holes in some of my jeans.
