Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Tessellation is when shapes fit together in a pattern with no gaps or overlaps. These squares make a tessellating pattern. You can make a tessellating pattern from just one type of shape or a number ...

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Tessellations are created when a shape is repeated over and over again, covering a plane without any ...
