A geometry problem that has been puzzling scientists for 60 years has likely just been solved by an amateur mathematician with a newly discovered 13-sided shape. Called "The hat" because it vaguely ...
What has 14 sides, is full of curves, and can perfectly cover a surface with no gaps or overlaps? It's not a riddle — it's a "vampire einstein." In March, a retired printing technician named David ...
And it all began with a hobbyist “messing about and experimenting with shapes.” An “aperiodic monotile,” or einstein, is a shape that tiles an infinite flat surface in a nonrepeating pattern. The ...
Earlier this spring, tiling aficionados thought maybe they’d found the shape of their dreams. Now they’re certain. By Siobhan Roberts In March, a team of mathematical tilers announced their solution ...
