First published by Duke professor Adrian Bejan in 1996, the constructal law is a first principle of physics that summarizes the tendency in nature to generate configurations (patterns, designs) that facilitate the free movement of the imposed currents that flow through it. The constructal law predicts that the tree-like designs described in ...

Macro photography of a natural snowflake. A snowflake is a single ice crystal that is large enough to fall through the Earth's atmosphere as snow. [1] [2] [3] Snow appears white in color despite being made of clear ice. This is because the many small crystal facets of the snowflakes scatter the sunlight between them. [4]
The hexagonal snowflake, a crystalline formation of ice, has intrigued people throughout history.This is a chronology of interest and research into snowflakes. Artists, philosophers, and scientists have wondered at their shape, recorded them by hand or in photographs, and attempted to recreate hexagonal snowflakes.
An example of various paper snowflake designs. A paper snowflake is a type of paper craft based on a snowflake that combines origami with papercutting. The designs can vary significantly after doing mandatory folding. [1] An online version of the craft is known as "Make-A-Flake", and was created by Barkley Inc. in 2008. [2]
Impressed at how the photographers' documentary style relieved them of the self-conscious need to adopt an artistic technique, Salt photocopied the book with an eye to painting some of its images. [3] Salt's painting Untitled (1967) was a pivotal work in this respect, being very closely based on Winogrand's photograph New York City (1959); both ...
