The James Webb Space Telescope finished the first major stage in its long process of aligning the observatory's 18-segmented primary mirror. A single star that the observatory looked at was ...

In vertebrates, skin colour patterns emerge from nonlinear dynamical microscopic systems of cell interactions. Here we show that in ocellated lizards a quasi-hexagonal lattice of skin scales, rather ...

A collaborative group of researchers has potentially developed a means of controlling spin waves by creating a hexagonal pattern of copper disks on a magnetic insulator. The breakthrough is expected ...

The ability of cells to self-organize into specific patterns in tissues that serve a function is a universal feature of life. The stripes of a zebra, our eyelashes, the spiral of seeds in a sunflower, ...

A unique hexagonal pattern has been discovered in a recently described plant-parasitic nematode worm. A new plant-parasitic nematode worm (Meloidoderita salina) was found in a tidal salt marsh at Mont ...

Visitors to the coast of Northern Ireland have always marveled at the so-called Giant’s Causeway — a field of some 40,000 interlocking basalt columns arranged in a tidy hexagonal pattern. German ...

An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt. Impact Link The latex condom has remained more or less identical in the hundred years since it was invented. Now, Swedish intimacy company LELO is giving the ...

Diamond is famously known as the hardest mineral on Earth. But researchers have been pursuing an unusual variant of it — known as hexagonal diamond — that might be even harder. After decades of claims ...
