Florals underfoot can be a fantastic way of adding interest on an often-forgotten surface, while keeping walls and décor ...

There’s a strange, rotating piece that looks like a chessboard but might have once been something else—maybe a writing desk. They found it in Anand’s childhood home after his father passed away ...

The tiles were then printed to create a real-world Penrose tile form. You could certainly use these Penrose tiles as decor, though we’d make some recommendations if you’re going that path.

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 ...

In a way that is reminiscent of Penrose’s eponymous tiles, Barss builds his portrait through the meticulous placement of individual moments. They fit together seamlessly, yet the pattern they ...

Perhaps most notable is the 18-by-9 foot illuminated Penrose Tile Wall. This first-time exhibit is comprised of 900 Penrose Tiles — a tiling system designed by Sir Roger Penrose in the 1970s.

Saturday’s Maker Faire, complete with eye-catching LED sculptures, battling robots, and a Mission Impossible-like laser maze, attracted attendees from far and wide.

In the 1980’s, however, researchers discovered structures such as Penrose tilings capable of filling a space without regularly repeating arrangements.

Physicists may have created the world's most difficult maze using a chess sequence, and it could help them understand the ...
