Biophysicists Uncover Powerful Symmetries in Living Tissue

After identifying interlocking symmetries in mammalian cells, scientists can describe some tissues as liquid crystals — an observation that lays the groundwork for a fluid-dynamic theory of how tissues move

The Simple Geometry That Predicts Molecular Mosaics

By treating molecules as geometric tessellations, scientists devised a new way to forecast how 2D materials might self-assemble.
