What do pine cones and paintings have in common? A 13th century Italian mathematician named Leonardo of Pisa. Better known by his pen name, Fibonacci, he came up with a number sequence that keeps ...

A spruce cone is marked to highlight its fibonacci number sequence. That sequence, explained by 13th century Italian mathematician Fibonacci, plays out in plants — from pine cones to pineapples — and ...

When Fibonacci introduced what would become an eponymous sequence, he did so using rabbits as an analogy. Breeding pairs of rabbits are able to multiply within their ranks infinitely. Unfortunately, ...

Fibonacci cubes represent a fascinating class of graphs that emerge as subgraphs of the n-dimensional hypercube. Defined by the restriction to binary strings that avoid consecutive 1s, these graphs ...

Life reconstruction of fossil Asteroxylon mackiei. Credit: Matt Humpage, Northern Rogue Studios A 3D model of a 407-million-year-old plant fossil has overturned thinking on the evolution of leaves.

A newly reconstructed fossil is forcing scientists to revisit one of nature’s most recognizable patterns. The ...

A signal unlike any other has reached Earth. The 3I/ATLAS project detected a unique transmission using the Fibonacci sequence ...

Scientists are investigating a mysterious pulse signal from interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. The signal reportedly follows a ...
