So, scientists once thought quasicrystals might just be this kind of accidental arrangement. However, now, physicists at the University of Michigan have cracked the puzzle. Their latest study shows ...

This study has everything: jumping spiders; insects donning striped and solid patterns; and evolutionary lessons about predators and prey. By Jack Tamisiea The researchers started by collecting ...

A team of physicists at UCLA has uncovered a strange and unexpected phenomenon—spiral patterns forming spontaneously on solid surfaces. The discovery, which began with a simple mistake in the ...

"Fixing DNA molecules on a solid substrate is pretty common. I guess nobody who made the same mistake I did happened to look under the microscope." To learn more about how the patterns formed ...

The dynamics of water near solid surfaces play a critical role in ... emulates natural evolution -- here used to identify surface patterns that either increase or decrease surface-water mobility.

There are three types of patterns: bar and block patterns map and plot patterns pie and star patterns. Pattern fills can be solid or empty, or composed of parallel or crosshatched lines. In addition, ...
