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, ...

The best part about chaos is that studying chaos in nature quiets our inner chaos. That is, our nervous systems appear wired to positively respond to certain forms of natural complexity.

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Nature is alive with a special type of pattern called fractals. From the smallest ice crystal to the vastness of the galaxy, fractals are the building blocks of the natural world.

Self-affine tiles and fractal geometry form a rich field where geometric precision meets the complexity of nature’s form. At its core, the subject examines how self-affine tiles—constructed via affine ...
