From thunderous mountain landscapes viewed from above to the erratic trajectories of Brownian motion, fractal patterns exist at many scales in nature. Physicists believe that fractals also exist in ...

Adrienne Gruber has made the 2020 CBC Nonfiction Prize longlist for Our Feedback Loop, Our Fractal, Our Never-Ending Pattern.

A quantum version of a fractal pattern, known as "Hofstadter's butterfly," has long been predicted, but the new study marks the first time it has been directly observed experimentally in a real ...

Over the last half 50 years, fractals have challenged ideas about geometry and pushed math, science and technology into unexpected areas.

Geometric patterns are considered fractal when they repeat or look the same at every size scale. In a forthcoming paper in Physical Review E, MIT’s Barry Cael and his co-authors describe how the ...

Studying the intricate fractal patterns on the surface of cells could give researchers a new insight into the physical nature of cancer, and provide new ways of preventing the disease from developing.

Preference for common natural patterns may develop early in life. Kids choose visual fractal patterns by 3 Years.
