For anyone who needs to brush up on their fractals, Caption: Zoomed in detail of the Mandelbrot set, a famous fractal, at different spatial scales of 1x, 4x, 16x, and 64x (from left to right). Credit: ...

The fractal branching of our blood’s interconnected highway — collectively known as the cardiovascular system — delivers nutrients efficiently from our heart to the tips of our pinkies, ensuring the ...

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 ...

The amount of microplastics in the human brain appears to be increasing over time: Concentrations rose by roughly 50 percent between 2016 and 2024, according to a new study ...

The human brain is about 60% fat by weight, far more than any other organ. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3s, are key to the strength and performance of the brain’s cells.

The human brain is about 60% fat by weight, far more than any other organ. Essential fatty acids, such as omega 3s, are key to the strength and performance of the brain’s cells.

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.

Now, after the lab team’s decade of close collaboration with scientists at Google, that data has turned into the most detailed map of a human brain sample ever created. 300 million images ...
