But Penrose, inspired by Escher (who was in turn fascinated by the intricate Islamic mosaics of the Alhambra in Spain), came up with various “non-periodic” tiling patterns, using pentagons ...

W hen I polled designers about 2025 kitchen tile trends, the patterns were clear - no pun intended. They (and their clients!) ...

Tiles are moving beyond just backsplashes and making their way onto kitchen furniture. Billingsley has noticed a growing ...

Every Star Tile design stems from the Earth’s colors, shapes, and geometries to generate a positive neural response.

The carbon atoms in a diamond interact with each other to form repeated, predictable patterns. Much like the atoms in a normal crystal repeat patterns in space, the particles in a time crystal ...

In order for the generated tiling to be a Penrose tiling, the five real numbers must sum to zero. If they don't, we get a generalized Penrose tiling. I'll come back to these later, but for now, let's ...

Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shoots patterns—even from smallbores—that we could never have imagined possible a few years ago. The extreme density of TSS means that shot as small as 9 and 10 are ...
