Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have discovered that Cepheid variable stars in our neighboring galaxy, the Small ...

Two physicists from the Technical University of Denmark have found that leaf shape is a determining factor in the distance leaves travel as they fall from their tree. In their paper published in the ...

Shape and symmetry help determine where a leaf lands — and if the tree it came from can recoup the leaf’s carbon as it decomposes.

The materials that make up all the structures and physical systems around us, including our own bodies, are not perfect—they ...

Researchers uncover physical laws explaining why cracks in materials break their symmetry while spreading. The findings lay ...

The materials that make up all the structures and physical systems around us, including our own bodies, are not perfect - they contain flaws in the ...
