MIT researchers Xuanhe Zhao and Qiming Wang have come up with a general formula for describing the patterning process of layered materials, including folds of the brain, wrinkles on a cat or the ridged skin of pumpkins. The model is expected to help understand growth and aging patterns in biological organisms, as well
as design materials for disease treatment and flexible electronic materials. More on MIT’s website.
