The perfect hexagonal shape of honeycomb cells — once thought to be an incredible feat of math-savvy insects — has now been explained by simple mechanics. Scientists have marveled at the angular ...
Few things are as charismatic as honeybees’ hexagonal honeycombs. Instantly recognizable, the pattern is striking in both its efficiency—the six walls use the least amount wax to divide a space—and ...
After nearly two thousand years, mathematicians have now finally proved that honeybees are among the world's most efficient builders. The 4th century geometer Pappus was one of several ancient Greek ...

Francisco López Jiménez is taking on an unusual research subject for an assistant professor in aerospace -- honeycombs. A faculty member in the Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering ...
WHY do honeycombs have hexagonal cells? Why are the florets in a sunflower arranged in a double spiral? In medieval times, these questions would have been met with a simple answer. God established the ...
If you have ever wandered around in nature you may have noticed how many geometric shapes there are in the world that have absolutely no design from humans. Take snail shell spirals or starfishes' ...
