Fractals are a source of endless fascination to me. Life itself relies on many of the concepts of fractals: trees are fractal, as are feathers, coast lines, and many other things in nature. Indeed, it ...

romanesco buds have a shape that is mathematically called 'fractal'. A research team at the Center National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) has published a paper that elucidates the mechanism of ...

An international group of researchers has recently discovered the first naturally occurring regular molecular fractal. Fractals, structures where every sub-part replicates the overall shape, are found ...

Fractals are remarkable examples of self-similarity where a structure or dynamic pattern is repeated over multiple spatial or time scales. However, little is known about how fractal stimuli such as ...

In the lobby of Doheny Memorial Library stands the one and only Mosely Snowflake Sponge, the world’s first three-dimensional origami representation of the icy fractal. Hand-built from nearly 50,000 ...

A team of researchers in Europe has shown that the density of large structures can be dramatically reduced, if they are designed using a fractal pattern. The researchers have worked out a way to ...
