For numerous fundamental processes of life, the formation of certain protein patterns is essential. Protein pattern formation ...

Hurricane High School students solve math problems together. The school has enjoyed success in boosting student math skills by incorporating ...

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

It began as a strange discovery buried in chaos theory — a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict real events before they happened. From climate shifts to stock market crashes, scientists now ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Using mathematics, the researchers were able to show that the 2PM plus light model behaves like a system of nonlinear oscillators - a sleep-wake oscillator, the oscillations of the body clock and the ...

On a March day in 2023, Ben Alessio, then a research assistant at CU Boulder, was wandering around the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, California, when he clocked a surprising sight: a male ornate boxfish ...

How bees, beer cans and big data all solve the same problem: not enough space. By Steven Strogatz Photo illustrations by Jens Mortensen Each installment of “Math, Revealed” starts with an object, ...

Scientists have developed a unified theory for mathematical parameters known as gauge freedoms. Their new formulas will allow researchers to interpret research results much faster and with greater ...

If you’ve ever noticed how squirrels vastly outnumber foxes in your neighborhood – or seen the same car brands dominate parking lots – you’re observing a pattern that governs not just human-made ...
