Researchers from the Max Planck Institute in Marburg and the Philipps University in Marburg have discovered the first regular ...

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...

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 ...

While mathematicians such as Sierpiński and Mandelbrot are famous for investigating mathematical versions, fractals actually occur in all sorts of places in nature: in lightning bolts, blood vessels, ...

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 ...
