Symmetry is a fascinating concept that touches upon the fundamental principles of balance, harmony, and beauty in the world around us. From the magnificent works of art to the intricate patterns in nature, symmetry plays a crucial role in creating visual appeal and evoking a sense of orderliness...

Chapter 1 – The Symmetry Laws of NatureFor centuries, philosophers have been looking for and finding, the ultimate basis of science. A variety of concepts ranging from quantum theory and relativity to chemical interaction, biology and behavioral patterns, are found to share a few common ...

Trypsinogen expression during the development of the exocrine pancreas in winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus) The tissue expression patterns observed here are likely due in part to the diffuse nature of the pancreas. Trypsin-like activity was evident from hatch ... H.M Murray and J.C Perez...
You probably know what symmetry means in math class. When a figure can be divided along a line or plane, and the two halves are congruent, we say it has symmetry. In nature, too, symmetry can be seen in plants and animals. One way biologists describe animals is the type of...
Drawing analogies from nature and the formation of human settlements, I will examine different processes of growth and show how I have utilized those processes to 'break symmetry', transforming patterns that are symmetric into ones that are asymmetric. I will con- clude by offering some subjective...
These structural similarities are echoed in behavioural patterns. Properties once thought uniquely human, such as culture, language, emotion, personality, are one by one being identified in species as varied as fish, sheep, rats, crows and even invertebrates. Not only can apes and birds design an...
This we also find in the Euclidian geometry when performing the Golden Section and by deriving the Golden or Devine Number in golden rectangles, spirals and the Golden Angle. The Golden Section is considered as most beautiful and used in architecture and art. It is found everywhere in nature,...
Bischofberger’s group at MIT studies how fluids and soft materials spontaneously form patterns in nature and in the lab. The team seeks to understand the mechanics underlying fluid transformations, which could be used to create new, reconfigurable materials. ...
