In a data warehouse, the structure that is created when highly repeated fields are placed into separate tables. The resulting diagram has short and long branches extending from the original dimension ...

Ice chemists are studying the surface structure of snow crystals and why sharp transitions in shape occur at different temperatures. The differences they see not only explain why no two snowflakes are ...

Three-dimensional snowflakes can now be grown in a computer using a program developed by mathematicians. Intricate, incredibly variable and beautiful, snowflakes have been puzzling mathematicians ...

We’ve all heard it—no two snowflakes are alike. However, they all seem to share that same six-sided shape, so what’s […] ...

As anyone who has tried to examine them under a microscope will appreciate, you’ve got to be quick – or in a very cold place – to investigate snowflake structure. It doesn’t help if you live somewhere ...
