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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
(CNN) — Trees depicted in famous artworks across a range of styles follow the same mathematical rules as their real-life counterparts, scientists have found. The math concept hidden in this tree art — ...
Nature follows mathematical rules and creates repeating patterns across completely different organisms and environments. These patterns appear so consistently that […] ...
