Over the last half 50 years, fractals have challenged ideas about geometry and pushed math, science and technology into unexpected areas.

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 ...

Have you ever stared at a cauliflower before preparing it and got lost in its stunningly beautiful pattern? Probably not, if you are in your right mind, but I reassure you it's worth a try. What ...

In a country that is crushingly stressed, anxious, and divided, how do we find a way back to peace? Could the forest hold the ...

Through the process of domestication, humans have selected plants best suited to their needs, for example, those with larger fruits or seeds that remain attached to the spike. It was known that these ...

A researcher is on a quest to grow flowers that will help people who've lost their sight by designing nano-sized flowers whose fractal shapes on implants will engage with neurons to carry light to the ...

Computer simulations of electrical charges sent to retinal implants based on fractal geometry have researchers moving forward with their eyes focused on biological testing. Computer simulations of ...

Computer simulations of electrical charges sent to retinal implants based on fractal geometry have University of Oregon researchers moving forward with their eyes focused on biological testing. That ...
