New research claims it may provide evidence of a "fifth force of nature" that could eventually rewrite everything we know.

In nature, fractal patterns aren’t just aesthetically pleasing, they’re also often related to function. For example, branching enables trees to transport fluid, harvest light and maintain ...

Snowflakes are an example of this, but fractals can also form tree patterns ... In real trees in nature, that number is usually somewhere between 1.5 and 3, depending on the tree.

While there are many examples of fractals in nature—such as coastlines and snowflakes—few are found in the quantum realm. "Hofstadter's butterfly is also a rare example of a problem that is ...

It's a natural example of the logarithmic or equiangular ... Trees are one of the most quintessential fractals in nature. As they grow, branches develop from the trunks, and each of these branches ...

The trunk and boughs of a tree, for example, echo the forked forms within the tree ... Returning to the present day, Ms Tarrant’s own interest in Nature’s extraordinary fractals recently saw her make ...

But regular fractals that match almost exactly across scales, as in the examples above, are very rare in nature. Molecules also have a certain regularity. But if you look at them from a great distance ...
