Fractals are a fascinating type of pattern for mathematics nerds, with their repeating, artificial-looking structures. Now, scientists have discovered the first known fractal protein – and it seems to ...

Physicists have created an oddity known as a quantum fractal, a structure that could reveal new and strange types of electron behaviors. Fractals are patterns that repeat themselves on different ...

Researchers have identified an enzyme that can assemble into complexes with fractal geometries. Fractals—hierarchical patterns in which structural features at larger scales repeat at smaller ...

Fractals are geometric objects that are self-similar, i.e., you can break them apart into smaller pieces which are exact (but smaller) replicas of the original object. These smaller pieces in turn, ...

A simple game with a die, a triangle, and a hell of a lot of patience, can help you to draw a famous fractal. Get out a pencil and clear your schedule. (Or get out a computer and clear less of your ...

Rather belatedly, here's a pavilion designed by Beijing studio HHD_FUN for Shanghai, with a surface composed of triangles, divided and divided again in a fractal pattern. Called Embedded Project, the ...

Students at New Vision Charter School have completed work on a 12-foot-tall Sierpinski Tetrahedron, encompassing 4,096 individual triangular pyramids and made entirely out of card stock and glue, and ...

Abstract Biological systems are by nature complex and this complexity has been shown to be important in maintaining homeostasis. The plant microtubule cytoskeleton is a highly complex system, with ...
