Symmetry is not just a word; it is a concept like harmony. It not only attracts our visual sense; it also plays a major role in our sense of beauty. It holds a paradox, too. Perfect symmetry, for ...

Researchers learn to predict how crystals take shape from their internal chemistry, even when the crystal lacks symmetry. A crystal's shape is determined by its inherent chemistry, a characteristic ...

Scientists discover how a hidden crystal pattern in advanced materials can control how they emit light, offering new ways to guide ultrafast signals using lasers. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Modern ...

The human visual system exhibits a remarkable ability to decipher the three-dimensional structure of the world from two-dimensional retinal images. Central to this process is the utilisation of shape ...

A cytokinin-mediated, proliferation-based mechanism is involved in the generation and maintenance of cell-type specific tissue boundaries during vascular development in Arabidopsis roots. Specifically ...

A 2D shape is symmetrical if you can draw a line through it and it looks exactly the same either side. This line is called a line of symmetry. Oh that rather smug expression tells me that square knows ...
