reports on one of the first applications of fractal geometry—when a Boeing computer scientist in 1978 applied principles of fractal geometry to create a mountain background for a plane for publicity ...

Fractals have applications in imaging, networks, antennas and even medicine. The team expects that the discovery of fractal forms of light that can be engineered directly from a laser should open new ...

Predicting the size, location, and timing of natural hazards is virtually impossible, but now, earth scientists are able to forecast hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and ...

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 ...

Scientists have provided the first experimental evidence for fractal light from simple lasers and add a new prediction, that the fractal light should exist in 3D and not just 2D as previously thought.
