For example, the surface of a giant doughnut is another 2D space. Through a field called geometric topology, mathematicians like me study all possible spaces in all dimensions. Whether trying to ...

As a supercoiled structure can be classified using a topological index — the linking number — this conflation of geometry with topology is understandable. White's theorem 6 states that the ...

Through a field called geometric topology, mathematicians like me study all possible spaces in all dimensions. Whether trying to design secure sensor networks, mine data or use origami to deploy ...

While you don’t need topology to determine that you are living on something like a giant beach ball, knowing all the possible 2D spaces can be useful. Over a century ago, mathematicians figured ...

Whether trying to design secure sensor networks, mine data or use origami to deploy satellites, the underlying language and ideas are likely to be that of topology. The shape of the universe ...

(THE CONVERSATION) When you look at your surrounding environment, it might seem like you’re living on a flat plane. After all, this is why you can navigate a new city using a map: a flat piece ...
