A team of researchers has identified a new three-dimensional shape, named the scutoid. The details of this discovery are ...

Complex analysis and the geometry of domains represent a vibrant interdisciplinary area that amalgamates tools from pure mathematics with practical applications. This field investigates the properties ...

Scientists have just defined a new shape called the scutoid (SCOO-toid) while studying epithelial cells, the building blocks of embryos that eventually end up forming our skin and lining our organs ...

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 ...

Say hello to the scutoid, a brand new shape that has been discovered in our cells. This addition to geometry finally explains how nature packs cells efficiently into three-dimensional structures. All ...

In our modern world in which scientific visualizations increasingly look like Hollywood movies and even simplistic visualizations for teaching are using gaming engines and GPU-accelerated renderers to ...

Researchers from the Department of Cellular Biology at the University of Seville and Seville Institute of Biomedicine (IBiS) have shown that epithelial cells, which are those that cover the surfaces ...
