After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon ...

In vertebrates, skin colour patterns emerge from nonlinear dynamical microscopic systems of cell interactions. Here we show that in ocellated lizards a quasi-hexagonal lattice of skin scales, rather ...

The James Webb Space Telescope finished the first major stage in its long process of aligning the observatory's 18-segmented primary mirror. A single star that the observatory looked at was ...

Scientists around the world are analyzing Mars for any signs of past life, and now a new study has provided evidence that suggests Mars once had the right conditions for life to form. So, why is this ...

A collaborative group of researchers has potentially developed a means of controlling spin waves by creating a hexagonal pattern of copper disks on a magnetic insulator. The breakthrough is expected ...

The ability of cells to self-organize into specific patterns in tissues that serve a function is a universal feature of life. The stripes of a zebra, our eyelashes, the spiral of seeds in a sunflower, ...

A unique hexagonal pattern has been discovered in a recently described plant-parasitic nematode worm. A new plant-parasitic nematode worm (Meloidoderita salina) was found in a tidal salt marsh at Mont ...
