CINCINNATI -- Researchers in the Netherlands have found ways to making fractal structures in polymers that are more finely organized than nanostructures now taking the market by storm. Fractal ...

Angel Lopez posts an updated example of the fractal HPC Server example code I updated my fractal example to support MPI.NET (Message Passing Interface with .NET) and parametric tasks in Windows HPC ...

(Nanowerk News) The nature and properties of materials depend strongly on dimension. Imagine how different life in a one-dimensional or two-dimensional world would be from the three dimensions we’re ...

Prof. Robert Strichartz, mathematics, researches fractal analysis, or the application of calculus to fractals, to probe questions in mathematics. Prof. Robert Strichartz, mathematics, researches ...

The Fractal Foundation defines fractals as designs that remain self-similar even if the scale is changed to result in never-ending patterns. In terms of design, fractals are patterns that appear ...

Matt Metcalf is spending his summer doing math and hoping for a “Eureka!” moment. His ultimate goal is to generate original fractal tilings, they study of which may someday be used by video game ...

Jackson Pollock couldn’t possibly have been thinking of fractals when he started flinging and dripping paint from a stick onto canvas. After all, mathematicians didn’t develop the idea of a fractal ...

PITTSBURGH — A proposed method for authenticating artist Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings does not hold up under scrutiny, a new analysis finds. What’s more, the analysis uncovered a new way to ...

As Sigmund Freud made very clear, human beings are compelled to repeat patterns—the repetition compulsion. Patterns laid down early in life are propelled forward to recreate the familiar that can be ...

Fractal structures appear to be closely related to systems whose growth to a large extent is the result of a series of unpredictable events. Examples of such structures include river networks, certain ...
