Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

The discovery may aid research in both mathematics and materials science. “Prime numbers have beautiful structural properties, including unexpected order, hyperuniformity and effective limit-periodic ...

A childhood math pattern led me to question Jung’s claim that archetypes exist beyond the mind—and to ask which patterns come ...

The seemingly random digits known as prime numbers are not nearly as scattershot as previously thought. A new analysis by Princeton University researchers has uncovered patterns in primes that are ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...

Researchers have demonstrated a technique for mapping deformation in metals that can recover destroyed serial numbers on metal objects such as firearms, a common challenge in forensics. Researchers at ...

Often when describing patterns, they are placed in one of two categories: organic or geometric. Organic designs are ones ...
