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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Tessellation patterns that have fascinated mathematicians since Johannes Kepler worked out their systematics 400 years ago – and that more recently have caught the eye of both artists ...

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 ...
