LAS VEGAS – Chia seeds sprouted in trays have experimentally confirmed a mathematical model proposed by computer scientist and polymath Alan Turing decades ago. The model describes how patterns might ...

In our newly published research in Science Advances, my student Ben Alessio and I propose a potential mechanism explaining how these distinctive patterns form—that could potentially be applied to ...

Nature is full of many patterned animals, from the stripes on zebras, spots on leopards, to the intricate details on sea creatures. Researchers have studied for a long time the biological explanation ...

The strikingly patterned ornate boxfish has no lack of detail when it comes to its hexagonal spots and keen stripes — the intricate markings are so sharp-edged in the species that it had engineers at ...

Himba bushmen in the Namibian grasslands have long passed down legends about the region’s mysterious fairy circles: bare, reddish-hued circular patches that are also found in northwestern Australia.

Many have heard of Alan Turing, the mathematician and logician who invented modern computing in 1935. They know that Turing, the cryptologist who cracked the Nazi Enigma code, helped win World War II.
