These shapes roll in peculiar ways thanks to new mathematics
Thanks to a complex mathematical algorithm, these plastic shapes follow a very specific route as they roll. In fact, researchers have shown that a shape can be designed to follow almost any path you can think of. What started out as just an interesting challenge for the researchers could have unexpected applications in quantum physics.
