The Fano Plane, named for Italian mathematician Gino Fano, is a structure in finite geometry where seven points are connected by seven lines (including the circle in the middle).

The smallest such geometry, a collection of seven points called the Fano plane , gives rise to a (7, 3, 2) design: Each line contains exactly three points, and each pair of points appears in ...

Besides his amazing talent in math, he is also a thoughtful person with a special kind of humor." Zhuang's proof, jointly with fellow researchers Xu and Yuchen Liu, completed the last major missing ...

They describe the solution using a mathematical system called finite geometry, which centres around a triangle-like structure called a Fano plane. Each point of the structure is plotted with pairs of ...
