Artists intuit the appeal of fractals. It's therefore not surprising to learn that, as visual experts, artists have been embedding fractal patterns in their works through the centuries and across ...

But Croll stresses that there are multiple ways to create structures in nature, even things that at first glance don’t look like they’ll be good for patterns at all. An example is a type of ...

Mathematical patterns reveal profound truths about the universe and, surprisingly, about our inner lives as well. These five visual math concepts offer unique frameworks for understanding our ...

Visual patterns can be seen everywhere — if you pay attention. Nature repeats itself, and man-made things are mass produced copies of themselves. You may see patterns in architectural elements such as ...

His beautiful coffee table book, Patterns in Nature: Why The Natural World Looks The Way It Does (University of Chicago Press, 2017), takes a fascinating and in-depth look into why and how natural ...

The reason patterns often appear in nature is simple: The same basic physical or chemical processes occur in many patterned substances and organisms as they form. Whether in plants and animals or ...

Active vision dynamically refines spatiotemporal neural representations, optimising visual processing through scanning behaviour and non-associative learning, providing insights into efficient sensory ...

Patterns of chemical interactions are thought to create patterns in nature such as stripes and spots. This new study shows that the mathematical basis of these patterns also governs how sperm tail ...
