In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

How can components be designed for an optimal balance of minimal weight and maximum robustness? This is a challenge faced by many industries, from medical device manufacturing to the automotive and ...

Computer graphics today can produce amazingly photorealistic images. Many motives, however, require very long computation times. Researchers have now developed a process, by means of which granular ...

Ivan Sutherland, widely considered to be the father of computer graphics, was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology by the Inamori Foundation on Friday for his contributions to the field.

Combining art, science, engineering, and the psychology of human perception and interaction, computer graphics involves the creation and manipulation of visual content used in applications ranging ...

At the birth of the computer era, the IBM PC became the standard computer in large part due to its modular architecture with interchangeable components. Like the original IBM, every modern PC's ...
