Atlanta’s Fernbank Museum wants you to “get lost" this summer — and to learn a few things about mathematical patterns while you’re at it!

Biological systems are renowned for their ability to create strong yet resilient structures. A sea sponge, for instance, grows in layers, forming unique patterns that integrate minerals with ...

The effect that nature has on our minds has been studied many times before and since, and the research generally — though not ...

Nature-inspired patterns boost polymer toughness With a new spin on a reaction called frontal polymerization, researchers can create materials that mimic the patterned structure that makes natural ...
