In the iconic "Sound of Music" score, "My Favorite Things," a young Julie Andrews lists snowflakes as objects that bring her ...

Often when describing patterns, they are placed in one of two categories: organic or geometric. Organic designs are ones based on natural things, like the silhouette of a tree or fur pattern of an ...

Discover how to create striking geometric and textured wall art with this step-by-step tutorial. Follow along as we transform a canvas using gold metallic paint, precise hexagonal patterns, and a ...

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover has come across a fascinating hexagonal pattern in salt deposits — and they look eerily reminiscent of Earth-based basins that dry out seasonally, providing a fascinating ...

A mixture of two types of pigment-producing cells undergoes diffusiophoretic transport to self-assemble into a hexagonal pattern. Credit: Siamak Mirfendereski and Ankur Gupta/CU Boulder A zebra’s ...

For the first time ever, scientists have created genetically modified snakes. The CRISPR-edited reptiles are providing new insight into how corn snakes (Pantherophis guttatus) develop their precisely ...

Printing on fabric might be a familiar trick, but adding stretch into the equation gives our fabric prints the ability to reconstitute themselves back into 3D. That’s exactly what [Gabe] has ...

A unique hexagonal pattern has been discovered in a recently described plant-parasitic nematode worm. A new plant-parasitic nematode worm (Meloidoderita salina) was found in a tidal salt marsh at Mont ...

In this paper we study a new model for patterns in two dimensions, inspired by diblock copolymer melts with a dominant phase. The model is simple enough to be amenable not only to numerics but also to ...
