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

Have you ever found yourself captivated by the intricate repeating designs on fabric, wrapping paper, and more? There’s something truly magical about repeating patterns that can transform ordinary ...

Brain teasers improve cognitive skills by challenging pattern recognition. A puzzle asks you to find the missing letter among A, E, and O in a grid. Pattern recognition brain teasers are designed to ...

Mathematicians and engineers at the University of Utah have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they ...

Grid cells are neurons with periodic spatial receptive fields (grids) that tile two-dimensional space in a hexagonal pattern. To provide useful information about location, grids must be stably ...

Remember the graph paper you used at school, the kind that’s covered with tiny squares? It’s the perfect illustration of what mathematicians call a “periodic tiling of space”, with shapes covering an ...

Mathematicians and engineers have teamed up to show how ultrasound waves can organize carbon particles in water into a sort of pattern that never repeats. The results, they say, could result in ...
