Hundreds of regular patterns spontaneously emerge on a small germanium chip. A curiosity about tiny dots on a germanium wafer with metal films led to the discovery of intricate spiral patterns etched ...

In ancient China, spring rains were called "as precious as oil" for their vital role in nature's spring revival. Today, a unique climate phenomenon known as "spring persistent rainfall" (SPR) prevails ...

There are moments in the history of human thought when a simple realization transforms our understanding of reality. A moment ...

Curiosity about a mistake that left tiny dots on a germanium wafer with evaporated metal films led to the discovery of beautiful spiral patterns etched on the surface of the semiconductor by a ...

Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they follow relatively simple mathematical rules also found in branching patterns in nature.

Italian scientists freeze light, revealing supersolid behavior in photons. This breakthrough could revolutionize quantum computing and photonic circuits.

Researchers observed a long-predicted fractal energy pattern in twisted carbon materials, confirming quantum theories.

Fractals are self-repeating patterns that occur on different length scales and can be seen in nature in a variety of settings ... the work uncovered features of Hofstadter’s spectrum that are of ...

Where there's water, there are waves. But what if you could bend water waves to your will to move floating objects? Scientists have now developed a technique to merge waves in a water tank to produce ...
