Polygon App

Polygon is an interactive mobile app that allows users to discover polygons hidden in museums or science centers, and use them to construct Platonic and Archimedean solids. Scan polyhedra with your phone’s camera, answer mathematical questions to get powerups with additional shapes, and view the finished solids in Augmented Reality.

EUHFORIA: modeling the dangers of the sun

The Earth’s magnetic field is protecting us from the dangers from outside. However, once in a while, it is possible that a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) launched from our Sun, has a large impact at Earth. Our model EUHFORIA helps with predicting the arrival times and impacts of such CMEs, so that we can prepare ourselves at Earth when a large CME is coming our way…

The mathematics of tides

Most people know something about what causes tides: if asked, almost everyone will say tides are caused by the moon. But if one delves a little deeper, it is easy to find many questions which arise naturally and are not so easy to answer. This interactive application tries to give an intuitive approach to some of the mathematics underlying tides, which is not so obvious for non specialists.
