Why Stunning Tessellations Are More Than Just Art, According to Mathematicians

Researchers uncover the mathematical structure behind mesmerizing tiling patterns, linking their visual appeal to the complexity of mathematical research. In a new study, mathematicians at Freie Universität Berlin show that planar tiling, also known as tessellation, is far more than a decorative arrangement of shapes. Tessellations cover a surface completely with repeating geometric forms, without [...]
