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 ...

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...

In other orientations, his artwork becomes Tree Root of a Fractal (rotated 180 degrees) and Math Art Brain (rotated 90 degrees).

They’re barely contained by strict mathematical definition, but the easy description is this: they’re “beautiful, damn hard, increasingly useful. That’s fractals." ...

All told, since Mandelbrot introduced fractal geometry to the world in the 1970s, his new math has informed fields as diverse as biology and physics, ecology and engineering, medicine and cosmology.

But by introducing mathematical fractals into the design, this plain nine-piece puzzle by Oscar van Deventer looks like a nightmare to solve.

Trees depicted in famous artworks across a range of styles follow the same mathematical rules as their real-life counterparts, scientists have found. The math concept hidden in this tree art ...

In other orientations, his artwork becomes Tree Root of a Fractal (rotated 180 degrees) and Math Art Brain (rotated 90 degrees).
