How does the armored tiling on shark and ray cartilage maintain a continuous covering as the animals' skeletons expand during growth? This is a question that has perplexed Professor Mason Dean, a ...

The growth of rose petals exploits a geometric trick previously unobserved in nature, physicists have found. Using theoretical analysis, computer simulations and experiments with rubbery plastic ...

Dynamical systems theory provides a rigorous framework to model and analyse the evolution of systems governed by deterministic rules. This field, in concert with topological dynamics, examines the ...
