Trees depicted in famous artworks across a range of styles follow the same mathematical rules as their real-life counterparts, scientists have found. The math concept hidden in this tree art — ...

Snowflakes, lightning bolts and human blood vessels are also fractal structures, which all show a degree of self-similarity: As you zoom into the details of a fractal, you can see a replica of the ...

If pure math can teach us anything, it’s this: occasionally, your special interest might just change the world. For Joshua ...

“We measure branch diameter scaling in trees and it plays the same role as fractal dimension,” Newberry said. “It shows how many more tiny branches there are as you zoom in.” Roughly speaking, a and b ...

"In mathematics, iterated function systems or IFSs are a method of constructing fractals; the resulting constructions are ... right mouse button and scroll wheel respectively to pan, rotate and zoom ...

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 ...

You may not be able to define “fractal” — yet — but fractals are, in fact, everywhere. As you might expect from hearing her title, Hayley Brazier, Donald M. Kerr curator of natural history ...
