Abstract
Forming a unique stochastically branching pattern includes providing a first fluid between a surface of a first substrate and a surface of a second substrate and introducing a second fluid between the surface of the first substrate and the surface of the second substrate. The second fluid is in direct contact with the first fluid at a formation temperature, and a viscosity of the first fluid at the formation temperature exceeds a viscosity of the second fluid at the formation temperature. The first substrate and the second substrate are separated to yield a unique stochastically branching pattern comprising the first fluid on the surface of the first substrate.
