By using fractal math to calculate how the branches of trees are depicted in art, researchers can put a number on what makes ...

Fractals, or repeating patterns, can be found in the tiniest ice crystal to pinecones and aspen leaves. The High Desert ...

Researchers discovered that our ability to recognize trees in art is linked to a mathematical principle called the branch ...

They are found everywhere in nature, from the shapes of mountains and coastlines to the branching of trees and veins in ...

Fractals in Nature' exhibit opens Saturday BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Nature is alive with a special type of pattern called ...

While mathematicians such as Sierpiński and Mandelbrot are famous for investigating mathematical versions, fractals actually occur in all sorts of places in nature: in lightning bolts, blood vessels, ...

Marcus du Sautoy describes how fractal geometry can be used to describe natural objects, and how it is used in digital animation. Trees use the simple rule of trying to maximise surface area ...

You may not be able to define “fractal” — yet — but fractals are, in fact, everywhere. As you might expect from hearing her ...

Trees in nature follow a “self-similar” branching pattern called a fractal, in which the same structures repeat at smaller and smaller scales from the trunk to the branch tip. In the new study ...
