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, ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nature is brimming with beautiful patterns, like the seemingly complex shapes of snowflakes, coastlines, clouds and seashells. But zoom in, and you'll see fractals, meaning the same, simple pattern ...

Pop music in the 1980s was full of weirdness, but no amount of Madonna or “The Safety Dance” will prepare you for what scientists recently found in a Michael McDonald song—fractals. Physicist Holger ...
