A new model extends the theory of elastic phase separation towards nanoscopic structures. Such patterns are frequent in biological systems and also used in nano-engineering to create structural color.

(Nanowerk News) While it has been known for many years that biological pattern formation relies on the self-organization of molecular components into specific patterns, the mechanisms involved have ...

Our current understanding of pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity signaling pathways in plants is limited due to the redundancy of several components or the lethality of ...

Okay, so they’re no replacement for a RISD degree. But these posters, by Turkish graphic designer Efil Turk, offer a fun primer on foundational visual concepts. For her senior thesis at the Dokuz ...
