Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they contain fractals, following relatively simple ...

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 ...

Loosely speaking, a fractal pattern is distinctly recognizable no matter how much you zoom in or out, a property known as self-similarity. For example, if you show a pattern to a person looking ...

A fractal butterfly pattern produced by an unusual configuration of magnetic fields, first predicted almost 50 years ago, has been seen in detail for the first time in a twisted piece of graphene.

After a nearly 40-year chase, physicists have found experimental proof for one of the first fractal patterns known to quantum physics: the Hofstadter butterfly. Named after Douglas Hofstadter, the ...
