The ground beneath your feet may be carrying on a kind of conversation. Research into fungal electrical signaling has found that underground networks of fungi generate patterns bearing a striking ...

Physicists show how patterns can emerge from chaos in turbulent fluids. The turbulent motion of a tumbling river or the outflow from a jet engine is chaotic: that is, it contains no obvious pattern.

Researchers designed microfabricated silicon chip patterns that guide vibrations along set paths, enabling energy harvesting ...
