A team of physicists at UCLA has uncovered a strange and unexpected phenomenon—spiral patterns forming spontaneously on solid surfaces. The discovery, which began with a simple mistake in the ...

Beautiful spiral patterns had been etched into the germanium surface by a chemical reaction. ... followed by a 4-nanometer layer of gold. Next, ...

It has long been observed that many plants produce leaves, shoots, or flowers in spiral patterns. Cauliflower provides a unique example of this phenomenon, because those spirals repeat at several ...

7. Spiral Galaxies. Not surprisingly, spiral galaxies also follow the familiar Fibonacci pattern. The Milky Way has several spiral arms, each of them a logarithmic spiral of about 12 degrees.

New observations have revealed a spiral pattern in a disk of material around a still forming, but already high-mass, baby star. This indicates that there is gravitational instability in the disk ...

A new image taken with two cutting-edge telescopes shows a spiral galaxy as a swirling formation of bright blue and shining gold. Skip to main content. Open menu Close menu.

A logarithmic spiral with a diameter of 500 μm, approximately half the diameter of a sewing needle. Curiosity about a mistake that left tiny dots on a germanium wafer with evaporated metal films ...

Map of material distribution in the disk around protostar G358-MM1. The white “+” marks the location of the protostar. The contour lines indicate signal strength. The colors represent the line ...
