Comprised of a surface pattern of triangles-like those in the main theater, but made in this case out of 1, 067 thin aluminum panels, mounted on the support structure with open joints-the light-blue facade looks razor-sharp but creates the impression of a super-light floating skin dematerialized against the sky: another visual reference in the architecture to the infinite thinness of the moving image.

Braque's mastery of surface inflection and pattern is equally evident.
This is a regular geometric pattern etched onto the surface of the tungsten.
As with other pieces of early Japanese pottery, one feature of the Aomori find is the exquisite rope-like pattern pressed into its surface for decoration.
They then heated the crystal for 24 hours to up to 2, 700 degrees Fahrenheit--a process that forces the crystal surface to reorganize itself into a sawtooth pattern at three-nanometer intervals (at that breadth, 30, 000 such jagged edges side by side would be as wide as one human hair).
Also, the intricate polarized pattern, which sparkles under the sleek surface, creates a three-dimensional illusion that is eye-catching and exquisitely reminiscent of a jewel.
When they are painted onto a surface, this arrangement forces them into a kind of checkerboard pattern which makes it much harder for barnacles and mussels to stick, according to David Williams, who is in charge of commercialising the idea at AkzoNobel, a multinational chemical company.
Inside the circle, given away by its small helical pattern, is a smear of dna dried onto its surface.
For instance, Mawrth Vallis, one of the largest identified clay-rich regions on the Red Planet, exhibits a more uniform mineralogy pattern that indicates water was much more closely tied to surface processes on the planet.

In particular, the processes by which the circuit pattern is first projected on to a chip's surface lithographically, and then etched on to it chemically, will need to be altered to take account of the fact that the surface is curved.
After drying and being treated with another solvent, the polymer settles into a regular hexagonal pattern--a kind of plastic-like screen--on the crystalline surface.
The electronic nose is an array of nano-scale gas sensors--the maximized surface area of the nano-particles allows the most gas to pass over them--along with pattern recognition technology that can create a digital fingerprint (or noseprint, as the case may be) of specific smells.
