Named for the Italian mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci, Fibonacci spirals are a distinctive shape related to the Fibonacci sequence — 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc — in which each number is the sum of ...
Time for some simple mathematics that span across the scientific world. This week, we’re exploring just some examples of the “golden ratio”. * Enough of getting bogged down in the numbers, here’s ...
The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is allegedly sending signals in a Fibonacci code. Is it an alien message, and is NASA hiding ...
An interesting new project on Kickstarter offers a chance to own a solid metal Fibonacci Spiral Torus and Mega Mobius. If you’re not familiar with the torus they are linked to the Fibonacci sequence, ...
Whether you’re a fan of compelling Tool songs, or merely appreciate mathematical beauty, you might be into the spirals defined by the Fibonacci sequence. [RuddK5] used the Fibonacci curve as the ...
Fibonacci numbers are seen in the natural structures of various plants, such as the florets in sunflower heads, areoles on cacti stems, and scales in pine cones. [HackerBox] has developed a Fibonacci ...
Leaf arrangements in the earliest plants differ from most modern plants, overturning a long-held theory regarding the origins of a famous mathematical pattern found in nature, research shows. The ...
The meristem of the gerbera is patterned on the molecular level already at a stage where no primordia or other changes are discernible by even an electron microscope. When people are asked to draw the ...
Eleanor has an undergraduate degree in zoology from the University of Reading and a master’s in wildlife documentary production from the University of Salford.View full profile Eleanor has an ...
Patterns exist throughout nature, in the shapes of snowflakes, the symmetry of rock crystals and butterflies, and the formations of clouds. As well, in plants, a consistent pattern—the spiral—exists ...
A 3D model of a 407-million-year-old plant fossil has overturned thinking on the evolution of leaves. The research has also led to fresh insights about spectacular patterns found in plants. Leaf ...
