New research reveals how cell sizes and clumping create sharp animal coat patterns, enhancing our understanding of nature's ...

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

There are many purposes that spots and stripes serve in nature, but how they form has been more of a mystery to scientists.

Recent studies have revealed that within cells of both yeast and bacteria, the rates of diffusion of RNA proteins - complex molecules that convey important information throughout the cell - are ...

This paper seeks to identify the factors which have the greatest effect on gas diffusion rates into animal burrows, and in turn on the maximum size of burrowing animals which may rely on simple burrow ...

Some analytical and numerical results are presented for pattern formation properties associated with novel types of reaction–diffusion (RD) systems that involve the coupling of bulk diffusion in the ...

Cell membranes are thin measuring around 5 nanometers thick and to put that into perspective you could fit about 10,000 membranes across one human hair. However, does understanding a cell membrane's ...

Photosynthesis rates of detached Panicum miliaceum leaves were measured, by either CO2 assimilation or oxygen evolution, over a wide range of CO2 concentrations before and after supplying the ...

A research team in South Korea has successfully developed a novel technology that combines nanoparticles with stem cells to ...
