In recent years, researchers have been studying the role of shape and geometry in biofilms and how physical laws ... matrix physically binds biofilm members to each other and to the solid substrate ...

Shape and symmetry help determine where a leaf lands — and if the tree it came from can recoup the leaf’s carbon as it decomposes.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a powerful tool for studying the behavior of electrons in solids ... the ...

They can detect the 'odd one out' in a set of geometric shapes, and have an affinity for geometric regularity – shapes with consistent features, like squares, as opposed to irregular ones ...
