Richard Taylor receives funding from The Australian Research Council, The Research Council for Science Advancement, and The WM Keck Foundation. Humans are visual creatures. Objects we call “beautiful” ...
The images in this gallery of natural fractal patterns on earth, viewed from space, have been curated from Google Earth by professor Paul Bourke. Egypt The images in this gallery of natural fractal ...
There are multiple examples of fractal patterns in nature, from peacock feathers, snowflakes, and leaves, to cloud formations and coastlines. A group of graduate students have spotted similar fractal ...
Pour milk in coffee, and the eddies and tendrils of white soon fade to brown. In half an hour, the drink cools to room temperature. Left for days, the liquid evaporates. After centuries, the cup will ...
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 ...
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 ...
The simplicity of the stains' repeating patterns is key to why we see so many images in them. It’s easy to see familiar shapes in seemingly random patterns. Witness how many people see faces in clouds ...
A team of researchers in Europe has shown that the density of large structures can be dramatically reduced, if they are designed using a fractal pattern. The researchers have worked out a way to ...
