Scientists at Princeton University have made a groundbreaking discovery in quantum materials, revealing that electron energy ...

“I found it a highly stimulating read, with an interesting connection between works of art and biology.” In nature, fractal ...

Blood vessels in tumors regressing after hormone removal had the notable characteristics of not only reducing their overall density but also returning to fractal scaling and function similar to ...

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.

It revealed that mathematics is full of monsters: impossible-seeming functions, strange objects (it’s one of the earliest examples of a fractal), wild behaviors. “There’s a whole universe of ...

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 ...
