Patterns in nature can be seen every day, yet in many cases, little is understood about how and why they form. Now University of Arizona mathematicians have found a way to predict natural patterns, ...

In the most comprehensive analysis to date, researchers found that the shapes of fingerprints—whether they are circular, wavy, or winding—are influenced by the genes responsible for limb development ...

Everyone has a unique set of fingerprints, yet scientists are still unsure about how these patterns actually form. Now two applied mathematicians in the US have developed a model that is able to ...

Many of us rely on using our fingerprints to unlock our phones and pay for shopping. But smartphone fingerprint scanners may not be secure as we think. Researchers have developed a series of ...

Fingerprints are as fascinating as the iris, a part of the eye. Just as the iris, they can be used to identify someone. That is why they are crucial when applying for a national identification card ...

A study led by Georgetown University neuroscientists reveals that the part of the brain that receives and processes visual information in sighted people develops a unique connectivity pattern in ...

Human-caused climate change has “intensified” patterns of extreme rainfall and drought across the globe, a new study finds. There is a detectable “human fingerprint” on decreasing rainfall over the US ...
