Researchers Trace Evolutionary Trajectory of Starfish's Unique Symmetry Through a 500 Million-Year-Old Fossil The star shape of the starfish (five arms) is intriguing to many marine aficionados. But ...

Have you ever gazed at a woven basket, a painted rock, or a beaded garment and felt a strange sense of harmony—like the ...

Ellen Goethel is a marine biologist and the owner of Explore the Ocean World Oceanarium at 367 Ocean Blvd. at Hampton Beach.

Sea anemones may look alien, but scientists just found out they're hiding an ancient body 'blueprint' – one that most animals ...

An analytically exact approach that determines the radial symmetry center of the image of any radially symmetric particle allows faster localization than iterative ...

Radial symmetry, as a title, alludes to neither scientific language nor poetic form in the collection, but the poet's appreciation of detail in all she encounters.

Rotational Another form of symmetry commonly found in biology is radial symmetry. It is found in flowers and many sea creatures, such as sea anemones, sea stars and jellyfish.

Radial symmetry is key to how moon jellies propel themselves and eat. (The two functions are related: The same flapping motion that moves a jellyfish through the water also sends food-rich water ...

In biology, symmetry is typically the rule rather than the exception. Our bodies have left and right halves, starfish radiate from a central point and even trees, though not largely symmetrical ...

In a paper published in National Science Review, a Chinese team of scientists reported a novel symmetry distribution in NiS ultrafine nanorods, where the atomic arrangement exhibits rotational ...

In particular, starfish, also called sea stars, have fivefold radial symmetry, so the animal can be divided into five identical segments.
