The human visual system exhibits a remarkable ability to decipher the three-dimensional structure of the world from two-dimensional retinal images. Central to this process is the utilisation of shape ...

The paper reflects on mathematics education courses for K-12 teacher candidates through the lens of asymmetry enhanced by using various digital tools. It demonstrates both explicit and hidden presence ...

Tsukuba, Japan—The shapes of simple polyatomic molecules such as carbon dioxide and methane are characterized by a specific symmetry depending on the manner of linking of the atoms. Nano- to ...

Reflective symmetry is when a shape can be folded in half, with either side of the fold being a mirror image of the other. Rotational symmetry is when a shape can be rotated and it still looks the ...

VIRUS shells, atomic nuclei and cage-like carbon molecules may all be expressions of the same simple geometric principle. The finding might help explain why these structures choose the shapes they do.
