In A Wrinkle in Time, out March 13, Meg Murry (Storm Reid) doesn't need a DeLorian to travel through space and time. Meg has access to a mode of transportation that's far quicker and less reliant on fuel, which is convenient, because she has to travel way across the universe to save her father, Dr. Alex ...

Saturn, the gas giant next door to Jupiter, wears a hexagonal shape on its north pole — but the geometry is all the work of a single storm. Now, scientists are trying to figure out how the Jovian polygons formed and are maintained. “I think we were expecting to see what we see at Saturn, where you have the ...

Duchin, who founded the Metric Geometry and Gerrymandering Group at Tufts, seeks to combat injustice caused by this practice by using mathematics. She's currently working with Pennsylvania to evaluate the state's redistricting maps. One form of gerrymandering, called packing, involves drawing lines of ...

An interplay between two realms is the subject of the Focussed Session: Geometry- and Topology-Controlled Nanoarchitectures at the Joint Meeting of DPG ... Dr. D. Makarov will talk on magnetism in curved geometries, where in addition to rich physics, the application potential of 3D-shaped objects is ...

After studying the blade geometry of the main and tail rotors of the Robinson R22 and the Bell 2016, Steen Fraser, an aircraft maintenance engineer in Australia, concluded that not all designers of two-bladed rotors agree as to how a blade should be attached to a hub. His conclusion generated a few ...

Tonight, Thursday Feb. 22, use the first quarter moon to find Aldebaran in Taurus the Bull. At 7:30 p.m., the moon will be toward the southwest. Nine degrees to the east (left) of the moon is orange/red Aldebaran, the 14th brightest star in the sky and the brightest star in Taurus. Aldebaran and Taurus will be ...

Rep. Marcy Kaptur's 9th Congressional District in Ohio, also known as the Snake on the Lake for its obvious gerrymandering aimed at forcing one longtime urban Democrat in Congress (Dennis Kucinich of Cleveland) to go up against another. Kaptur won that contest in the 2012 primary. Mathematician ...

Black Panther is the latest offering from Marvel and Disney — if you don't already know the story, here's quick synopsis: It's about T'Challa, the superhero Black Panther and the king of Wakanda, an isolated, technologically advanced African country that sits upon a rich deposit of the metal vibranium, the ...

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. - Learning math while modeling the catwalk collide for students at West Bay Elementary School. The school held its first geometry fashion show Friday. Fourth and fifth grade students designed outfits inspired by different shapes and sizes. "I learned that you can find geometry in ...

General MacArthur's operational idea, eventually embraced by Admiral Nimitz, President Roosevelt, and the Joint Chiefs, was to retake the Philippines as an intermediate base of operations from which to launch air strikes against Formosa, and eventually the Japanese home islands. Leyte was selected as ...

I'll admit, I hate the notch. I see it as a necessity, and I acknowledge its presence (with red-hot hatred), and I'm sure you do too, but I promise you from this moment onward, you'll look at it differently. Very differently.
