A new model developed by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) extends the theory of elastic phase separation towards nanoscopic structures. Such ...

As a grape slowly dries and shrivels, its surface creases, ultimately taking on the wrinkled form of a raisin. Similar patterns can be found on the surfaces of other dried materials, as well as in ...

Mathematicians propose a theoretical framework to understand how waves and other disturbances move through materials in conditions that vary in both space and time. The theory is called 'field ...

Video: This elegant model by Garrett Lisi may at last reveal the link between gravity and the other fundamental forces of nature GARRETT LISI is an unlikely individual to be staking a claim for a ...

A team of researchers have expanded Alan Turing's seminal theory on how patterns are created in biological systems. This work may answer whether nature's patterns are governed by Turing's mathematical ...

There is a way to identify the causation of irregular patterns in animals, recent research shows through using chaos theory mathematics to analyze data of an electronically tagged narwhal. Research ...
