This property, where the same geometric pattern appears at every scale within a shape (known as self-similarity), gives Romanesco cauliflower its remarkable "fractal" character. How have genetic ...

Fractal geometry and spectral analysis are two interconnected fields that explore complex structures and their properties. Fractals are intricate patterns that repeat at different scales ...

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 ...
