Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they follow relatively simple mathematical rules ...

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute in Marburg and the Philipps University in Marburg have discovered the first regular ...

The contrast between the charred and intact wood, and the way the resin fills the voids really brings out the fractal nature of the Lichtenberg figures. [PapaJ06] doesn’t really show us too ...

Fractals are self-repeating patterns that occur on different length scales and can be seen in nature in a variety of settings, including snowflakes, ferns, and coastlines. The image shows a quantum ...

Fractals in Nature,” a new exhibit that takes visitors on a deep dive into fractals, starting Saturday at the museum. (Bonus: The museum is holding one of its free admission days on the ...

This algorithm has been applied to real-world networks, such as the Escherichia coli network, confirming their fractal nature[5]. Overall, these studies highlight the growing importance of complex ...

Researchers observed a long-predicted fractal energy pattern in twisted carbon materials, confirming quantum theories.

Trees depicted in the artwork of famous painters like Leonardo da Vinci and Piet Mondrian follow the math behind their branching pattern in nature, a new study says. At such a critical moment in US ...

Hailed as the man who reshaped geometry, French-American mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot first coined the word “fractals” to ...

Marcus du Sautoy describes how fractal geometry can be used to describe natural objects, and how it is used in digital animation. Trees use the simple rule of trying to maximise surface area ...
