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 ...

who says you can bring more symmetry to spaces by decorating in pairs — two nightstands flanking a bed or two plants flanking ...

Skewness measures the asymmetry in a set of observations. Skewness is the degree of asymmetry observed in a set of data. When data points on a bell curve are not distributed symmetrically to the ...

Additionally, it was hypothesized that the asymmetry observed in the CoDS test will significantly correlate with asymmetries in the single leg jump and 505 test scores, with consistent directional ...

Shiny white structures, atypical networks, and asymmetry of globules are among the dermoscopic findings that may help clinicians differentiate low-grade dysplastic nevi from other lesions. Early ...
