Scientists used patterned plastic surfaces to trick bacteria into halting their own spread. These designs may prevent ...

In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike but can’t be perfectly superimposed.

Florals underfoot can be a fantastic way of adding interest on an often-forgotten surface, while keeping walls and décor ...

Scientists at McMaster University have demonstrated that natural genetic variations in a common species of mushroom can be used to create new strains capable of making customized, biodegradable ...

The discovery hinges on a rising technique in modern physics called “twistronics,” where layers of materials are contorted at specific angles to create moiré patterns. These configurations ...

The spirals Ernst grew may provide some clues. The key to this molecule’s irregular behavior, reported in January 2025 in Nature Communications, may be the entropy of its constellations.

A quantum version of a fractal pattern, known as "Hofstadter's butterfly," has long been predicted, but the new study marks the first time it has been directly observed experimentally in a real ...

This chapter explores nature-inspired green chemical methods and biomaterials across various functional domains, focusing on biomedical, environmental, and agricultural applications. The review ...
