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 ...

Fractals are becoming popular for when it comes to designing microwave and radio-frequency antennas thanks to their “self-similarity” that allows the antenna to better collect and focus broadband, ...

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, ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified an enzyme that can assemble into complexes with fractal geometries. Fractals—hierarchical patterns in which structural features at larger scales repeat at smaller ...

Physicists have created an oddity known as a quantum fractal, a structure that could reveal new and strange types of electron behaviors. Fractals are patterns that repeat themselves on different ...

One transistor, just a pair of inductors and capacitors. Such a simple electronic circuit can become an oscillator with a surprising richness of behavior. However, even more interesting effects become ...

The self-assembly of ordered molecular arrays on surfaces has received a lot of attention, but fractals are particularly challenging patterns to replicate. Now, a team of researchers led by Yongfeng ...
