For many processes important for life such as cell division, cell migration, and the development of organs, the spatially and temporally correct formation of biological patterns is essential. To ...

Researchers at the Universities of Konstanz and Stuttgart have demonstrated a new approach to computation: a computer made from a few hundred microscopic particles oscillating in a liquid. Instead of ...

Lancaster University, Northwest University in China and University of Bath have built their own vision algorithm software that can decode even the most secure pattern lock in just one attempt. The ...

Proper embryonic development of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is governed by patterns of protein activity bequeathed to the fertilized egg by its mother. While the embryo is still a single ...

Researchers have developed a model that can recreate, with only a few parameters, the wing patterns of a large group of insects, shedding light on how these complex patterns form. For many species of ...

In most everyday materials, such as copper, silver and silicon, the behavior of electrons is relatively predictable. In ...

The technology continues to evolve, but 3D printing is still mostly used for creating prototypes or parts that won’t have to endure tremendous stresses or rigorous wear and tear. That might not always ...

Pattern formation in complex network systems arises when local interactions among dynamical elements, coupled by the network topology, give rise to organised spatio-temporal structures. Central to ...

A new theory enables the simulation of complex pattern formation in biological systems across different spatial and temporal scales. For many processes important for life such as cell division, cell ...
