Satellite views of Earth's major river systems reveal their familiar treelike drainage patterns. The pattern - called dendritic - and its prevalence suggests that it may be the optimal state in which ...

Recent technological and scientific advances have opened new possibilities for neuroscience research, which is in turn leading to interesting new discoveries. Over the past few years, many groups of ...

The expanding ink droplet shears the underlying acrylic paint layer—the Marangoni effect. Saw a shop that was selling these as "fern fossils" when I, for once, looked smart when saying, "Actually...." ...

Mineral deposits can create markings that look like forests or mountains, and experts say each stone is distinctive. By Jill Newman When Tarun Adlakha displays a dendritic agate, with its finely ...

Branching out: Fractals emerge when inks mixed with alcohol are applied to a surface coated with a layer of acrylic paint (Courtesy: Akiko Nakayama) Two researchers at the Okinawa Institute of Science ...
