Why do humans love to look at patterns? I can only guess, but I've written a whole book about new mathematical ways to make them. In Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper Patterns, I ...

The strange pattern hiding in a census of human cells When researchers set out to count every major type of cell in the human body, they expected a messy catalog, not a clean curve. Instead, after ...

The Chinese money plant leaves hide a mathematical pattern discovery is reshaping how scientists understand natural design in plants. In simple terms, a common houseplant reveals one of mathematics’ ...

A Columbian College of Arts and Sciences professor used computational modeling to prove that human conflicts throughout history have a hidden pattern—a breakthrough that came to him while watching his ...

Scientists have found mathematical patterns underlying the way individuals unconsciously distribute their preferences regarding approaching or avoiding objects in their environment. These patterns ...

What if the key to unlocking artificial general intelligence is a pattern that already exists, but has yet to be discovered? Artificial general intelligence, also referred to as “strong artificial ...

The same researchers behind the 13-sided "hat" shape have stumbled upon a version that improves upon the original in a very important way. Reading time 2 minutes In March, a group of mathematicians ...
