Geological time, generally considered as a system of eras, periods and epochs materialized in rock strata, might actually follow a simple and unifying model. Indeed, a new study led by ...

Self-affine tiles and fractal geometry form a rich field where geometric precision meets the complexity of nature’s form. At its core, the subject examines how self-affine tiles—constructed via affine ...

A mathematician has developed a new way to uncover simple patterns that might underlie apparently complex systems, such as clouds, cracks in materials or the movement of the stockmarket. The method, ...

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 ...
