Mathematicians introduce a new class of shape, ‘soft cells’, with rounded corners that allow for unique tilings previously unexplored. These soft cells fill space without repeating arrangements, a concept that challenges traditional beliefs about tiling. Researchers have identified instances of soft tilings in nature, such as in river systems, onions, and nautilus shells. This groundbreaking […]
Restricting high-emitting vehicles in cities through clean air zones, such as London’s ultra-low emissions zone, not only improves air quality but also gets kids walking and biking to school more. In a study comparing London and Luton, researchers found that 2 out of 5 students in London started using active modes of transportation after the […]
