Fractals are sometimes referred to as a “visual representation of math.” ...

Understanding how this enzyme achieves its fractal geometry posed a unique challenge. Jan Schuller and his team at the University of Marburg were up to tackle it. They used electron microscopy to ...

Marcus du Sautoy describes how fractal geometry can be used to describe natural objects, and how it is used in digital animation. Trees use the simple rule of trying to maximise surface area ...

[PapaJ06] puts a new twist on it by using a microwave oven transformer to generate fractal patterns in wood. We’ve seen these Lichtenberg figures before, but generally as electric discharges in ...
