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 at the High ...

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Nature is alive with a special type of pattern called fractals. From the smallest ice crystal to the vastness of the galaxy, fractals are the building blocks of the natural world.

A bacterium has evolved an enzyme that assembles in a fractal structure, a mathematical pattern that repeats itself at smaller scales. Fractal patterns are found throughout nature on large, ...

You have almost certainly seen computer-generated fractals – beautiful, trippy images in which colourful, intricate structures repeat ad infinitum as you fall ever further down the rabbit hole.

One of the first studies of fractals came from a surprising and weird phenomenon that occurs when you try to measure a coastline.

The study of Dirichlet forms and Markov processes in fractal geometry offers a robust framework for analysing irregular spaces that do not conform to classical Euclidean structures. Dirichlet forms ...

A team of scientists from Princeton University has measured the energies of electrons in a new class of quantum materials and has found them to follow a fractal pattern. Fractals are self-repeating ...
