Fractal geometry introduces a paradigm in which spacetime exhibits scale-dependent structure characterised by non-integer dimensions. In quantum cosmology, such structures arise naturally when ...

An international team of researchers led by groups from the Max Planck Institute in Marburg and the Philipps University in Marburg has stumbled upon the first regular molecular fractal in nature. They ...

Fractal interpolation functions (FIFs) arise from the marriage of classical interpolation and fractal geometry, yielding curves that exactly pass through prescribed data points while exhibiting ...

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 ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

Fractals are everywhere in nature, from river deltas to tree branches. These structures look similar from afar as when you zoom in close. Certain fractals, called regular fractals, are identical on ...
