What are fractals, really? Hailed as the man who reshaped geometry, French-American mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot first coined the word “fractals” to describe how nature’s designs mimic irregular ...

“So people are getting this really close-up look of fractals at the galaxy level, but also at the brain neuron level,” Brazier said.

The human brain may contain up to a spoon’s worth of tiny plastic shards—not a spoonful, but the same weight (about seven grams) as a plastic spoon, according to new findings published Monday ...

Human brains today contain 50% more plastic than in 2016, a new study found. Brain of people diagnosed with dementia had the most.

The term dates back to 1975, when Mandelbrot — to whom it is credited — applied the mathematics of theoretical fractional dimensions to the geometric patterning found in the natural world. Fractals ...

Researchers at Tianjin University in China have created a robot that is controlled by human brain cells in a first-of-its-kind breakthrough in biocomputation.

Working from a sliver of tissue no bigger than a grain of rice, researchers have built an astoundingly complex map of the human brain. The tiny fragment contains 57,000 cells, 230 millimeters of ...

Harvard and Google Research have released a startlingly deep dive into the human brain, mapping thousands of cells and millions of synapses in a poppy seed-sized sample of brain tissue. The effort ...
