New robotics research enables machines to manipulate irregular objects such as fruits and tools by mapping their surface ...

It does not take much to confuse some robots. A machine might be great at handling a simple object like a box, yet when it ...

The more neurons there are in a clique, the higher the dimension of the geometric object. "We found a world that we had never imagined," says neuroscientist Henry Markram, director of Blue Brain ...

Royal College of Art graduate Alessandra Fumagalli Romario explains how her project Imaginary Language gives actors and children tools to help them think more creatively in this video interview shot ...

Researchers at EPFL and Idiap Research Institute have developed a geometry-aware system that allows robots to manipulate irregularly shaped objects such as bananas, cups, and peelers. Using stereo ...

Physicists reported this week the discovery of a jewel-like geometric object that dramatically simplifies calculations of particle interactions and challenges the notion that space and time are ...

Integral geometry and valuation theory form a dynamic field at the intersection of geometric analysis and algebraic topology. This discipline addresses the study of measures – known as valuations – ...

The 2008 Abel Prize was awarded to John Griggs Thompson of the University of Florida and Jacques Tits of the Collège de France for their contributions to group theory, the mathematical field that ...

Below left: The figure shows how geometrical music theory represents four-note chord-types -- the collections of notes form a tetrahedron, with the colors indicating the spacing between the individual ...
