Researchers at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences developed a theory for how apples get their cusp-like features by drawing upon singularity theory, according to an Oct. 4. paper published ...

Apples are among the oldest and most recognizable fruits in the world. But have you ever really considered an apple’s shape? Apples are relatively spherical except for that characteristic dimple at ...

Singularity theory in differential geometry investigates points or loci at which smooth structures—such as maps, immersions or submanifolds—degenerate. At these singular points the Jacobian vanishes ...
