A database, collecting and classifying tile-like patterns in biology, aims to be a resource and research catalyst. The human ...

In essence, it’s a type of symmetry breaking. Any two processes that act as activator and inhibitor will produce periodic patterns and can be modeled using Turing’s diffusion function. The challenge ...

Nature has a way of crafting designs that outshine our most advanced engineering. These remarkable creations have evolved ...

Using a new computer model, scientists simulated the stripes, spots and hexagons on a species of boxfish, imperfections and ...

The human eye is drawn to the rhythmic beauty of tiled patterns, which occur abundantly in nature. A database, collecting and classifying tile-like patterns in biology, aims to be a resource and ...

Imperfections in animal patterns could inspire adaptive materials that shift color, shape, and function like nature itself.

Two clashing patterns, one stunning result. When done right, this nature-inspired mix brings outdoorsy elegance and a touch ...
