A mathematician has developed a new way to uncover simple patterns that might underlie apparently complex systems, such as clouds, cracks in materials or the movement of the stockmarket. The method, ...

From thunderous mountain landscapes viewed from above to the erratic trajectories of Brownian motion, fractal patterns exist at many scales in nature. Physicists believe that fractals also exist in ...

Fractal patterns that arise when healthy human cells turn cancerous have been observed for the first time by scientists in the US. Using an atomic force microscope (AFM), Igor Sokolov and colleagues ...

Kids have an adult-like preference for visual fractal patterns commonly seen in nature by three years, according to the University of Oregon researchers. That discovery emerged among children who've ...

The images in this gallery of natural fractal patterns on earth, viewed from space, have been curated from Google Earth by professor Paul Bourke. Egypt In a world made small and accessible by ...

Self-affine tiles and fractal geometry form a rich field where geometric precision meets the complexity of nature’s form. At its core, the subject examines how self-affine tiles—constructed via affine ...

When it comes to the study of both human nature and the natural world, one must be willing to reckon with the fact that a certain degree of chaos will be present in whatever facets of this planet they ...

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 ...

That discovery emerged among children who've been raised in a world of Euclidean geometry, such as houses with rooms constructed with straight lines in a simple non-repeating manner, said the study's ...
