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 ...

An unusual arrangement of leaves in a 407-million-year-old fossilized plant is complicating scientists’ understanding of plant evolution. Most land plants living today have spiral patterns involving ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
