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 ...

The suitability of the Miura-ori for engineering deployable or foldable structures is due to its high degree of symmetry embodied in its periodicity, and four important geometric properties: it can be ...

Surface tessellations are an arrangement of shapes which are tightly fitted, and form repeat patterns on a surface without overlapping. Imagine the pattern of a giraffe's fur, the shell of a tortoise ...

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 ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

We are going to tessellate some shapes but what is tessellation? It means to decorate or cover a surface with a pattern of repeated shapes, especially polygons, that fit together closely without gaps ...

Photoshop cc tutorial showing how to create a tessellation pattern from scratch. Tessellations are repeating patterns comprised of negative and positive tiles that interlock together, similar to a ...
