Fractal geometry is one of the most elegant and beautiful branches of mathematics. An early analysis of fractals came from a surprising and weird phenomenon that occurs when you try to measure a ...

Fractals have become a common sight, thanks to computer imagery In 1975, a new word came into use, when a maverick mathematician made an important discovery. So what are fractals? And why are they ...

You have almost certainly seen computer-generated fractals – beautiful, trippy images in which colourful, intricate structures repeat ad infinitum as you fall ever further down the rabbit hole.

Computer scientist Keenan Crane, PhD, is asked to explain fractals to 5 different people; a child, a teen, a college student, a grad student, and an expert. of increasing complexity. So fractals ...

Now researchers in Japan have shown that AIs can start learning to recognize everyday objects by being trained on computer-generated fractals instead. It's a weird idea but it could be a big deal.

You may not be able to define “fractal” — yet — but fractals are, in fact, everywhere. As you might expect from hearing her title, Hayley Brazier, Donald M. Kerr curator of natural history ...
