A new theory enables the simulation of complex pattern formation in biological systems across different spatial and temporal scales. For many processes important for life such as cell division ...

Muslim pattern makers were using highly intricate mathematical and geometrical techniques for creating decorative patterns that were not understood in the western world until well into the 20th ...

The 14th pattern was found in 1982 by Rolf Stein of the University of Dortmund, Germany, and that was it for the next 33 years. The latest discovery came about with advances in software modeling.

Until now, the conventional view was that the complicated star-and-polygon patterns of Islamic design were conceived as zigzagging lines drafted using straightedge rulers and compasses. "You can go ...

The geometric approach not only deepens our understanding of the universal aspects of complex systems but also provides interdisciplinary tools to model dynamics in both natural and man-made networks.
