Nature creates incredible works of living art through its many different animal patterns, such as a leopard’s spots or a ...

Reaction-diffusion systems represent a fundamental mathematical framework to model the interplay between local reactive processes and diffusive transport of substances. These systems have wide-ranging ...

Observing nature shows that many temporal and spatial structures are not formed by the outside, but rather by the respective system itself. To study these self-organizing processes is the subject of ...

This paper develops two local mesh-free methods for designing stencil weights and spatial discretization, respectively, for parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) of ...

Using a new computer model, scientists simulated the stripes, spots and hexagons on a species of boxfish, imperfections and ...

Nature has no shortage of patterns, from spots on leopards to stripes on zebras and hexagons on boxfish. But a full explanation for how these patterns form has remained elusive. Now engineers at CU ...

[Jason] was messing around with CNC machines and came up with his own halftone CNC picture that might be an improvement over previous attempts we’ve seen. He immediately recognized the algorithm that ...
