Princeton: Princeton astrophysicists re-imagine world map, designing a less distorted, ‘radically different’ way to see the world - "Princeton professors J. Richard Gott and Robert Vanderbei worked with Drexel professor David Goldberg to create a revolutionary new map: a two-sided disk that can slip inside a textbook or be stacked neatly for storage. It provides more accurate distances than any existing flat map, while keeping visual distortions at a minimum."
