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 ...

This Research Topic highlights recent advances in fractal geometry, fractional calculus, and artificial intelligence (AI) for addressing complex problems in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Snowflakes, fern leaves, romanesco cauliflower heads: many structures in nature have a certain regularity. Their individual parts resemble the shape of the whole structure. Such shapes, which repeat ...

Where centralised societies excel at extraction, African fractal systems allow for circulation, reciprocity and return ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers led by groups from the Max Planck Institute in Marburg and the Philipps University in Marburg has stumbled upon the first regular molecular fractal in nature. They ...
