Understanding how this enzyme achieves its fractal geometry posed a unique challenge. Jan Schuller and his team at the ...

The complex geometry of fractals especially at a molecular scale makes it tricky to study them. For instance, “Image ...

Fractals are geometric objects that have a very complicated ... each particle follows one of the curves). We can look at the geometry of these curves, that is, their shapes. You can imagine that if ...

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 ...

The image of the Mandelbrot set is one of the most recognizable representations of a fractal. But what's behind the entrancing picture? In this interactive, learn a bit about how we generated our ...

A quantum version of a fractal pattern, known as "Hofstadter's butterfly," has long been predicted, but the new study marks the first time it has been directly observed experimentally in a real ...

A fractal butterfly pattern produced by an unusual configuration of magnetic fields, first predicted almost 50 years ago, has been seen in detail for the first time in a twisted piece of graphene.
