Impressive patterns that appear in animals, plants, and ecosystems
Nature follows mathematical rules and creates repeating patterns across completely different organisms and environments.
A team of physicists say they managed to create a new phase of matter by shooting laser pulses reading out the Fibonacci sequence to a quantum computer in Colorado. The matter phase relies on a quirk ...
Some strange mathematical sequences are always whole numbers — until they’re not. The puzzling patterns have revealed ties to graph theory and prime numbers, awing mathematicians. Simple, yes, but ...
