Fractal on ice: Example of the fractal structures in spin ice together with a famous example of a fractal (the Mandelbrot set), on top of a photograph of water ice. (Courtesy: Jonathan N Hallén, ...

Many fractal structures, for example in clouds or river deltas (above) are created by random processes and do not follow an exact mathematical formula; a smaller river bed does not correspond exactly ...

Humans are visual creatures. Objects we call "beautiful" or "aesthetic" are a crucial part of our humanity. Even the oldest known examples of rock and cave art served aesthetic rather than utilitarian ...

Fractal geometry is a field of math born in the 1970s and mainly developed by Benoit Mandelbrot. If you’ve already heard of fractals, you’ve probably seen the picture above. It’s called the Mandelbrot ...

In the final chapter of our book*, we briefly discussed the impact of fractal patterns on stress. That's important because stress can interfere with our ability to experience happiness. Yet, what is ...

Scientists have provided the first experimental evidence for fractal light from simple lasers and add a new prediction, that the fractal light should exist in 3D and not just 2D as previously thought.
