A leopard is chasing a zebra, bound to follow the laws of nature and natural selection, down a sand dune and across a plain of dried mud, bound to the laws of geology and sediments. The stripes of the ...

Symmetry abounds in nature, often in its most beautiful forms. A perfect snowflake, a blooming sunflower, a light-harvesting complex from a bacterium—they all exhibit striking symmetry, crafted by ...

Mirroring the mechanisms that make human faces and bodies—and those of many multicellular organisms—symmetrical, bee colonies build symmetrical nests when they are placed on either side of a ...

Scientists have discovered a new factor – a noggin-like gene – that plays a key role in controlling the pathway responsible for dorsoventral symmetry in animal phylogeny. A team from the Department of ...

The boundary of a cell defines the shape and scale of its subcellular organization. However, the effects of the cell's spatial boundaries as well as the geometry sensing and scale adaptation of ...

Redefining the repeating pattern in photonic crystals creates tightly confined pathways for light while preserving symmetry, ...
