Schematic illustration with a gravity gradient map (blue hexagonal pattern) of the lunar nearside and a cross-section showing two ilmenite-bearing cumulate downwellings from lunar mantle overturn.

The hexagonal patterns only occur on the top and sides of the snake—the skin on the belly has scales but no patterns. The team used a variety of techniques to study the development of the scales ...

are a special type of diamond with carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern. Formed when graphite is exposed to extreme heat and stress, such as at meteor impact sites, the rare material has ...

Nature has no shortage of patterns, from spots on leopards to stripes on zebras and hexagons on boxfish. But a full explanation for how these patterns form has remained elusive. Now engineers at CU ...

Here, we report a generalized Swift–Hohenberg theory that describes wrinkling morphology and pattern selection in ... hybrid and hexagonal phases. Furthermore, a comparison to earlier ...
