Mathematicians at the University of Washington Bothell discover a new type of pentagon tiling, a breakthrough in the field of mathematics. This finding reveals the first new type of "tiling the plane" with a single polygon since 1985. The researchers used an algorithm to solve the question of how many shapes can perfectly tile a flat surface without gaps or overlaps, expanding our understanding of geometric patterns.
