In a discovery that brings a legendary quantum theory to life, physicists at Princeton University have directly observed ...

Scientists at Princeton University have made a groundbreaking discovery in quantum materials, revealing that electron energy ...

Fractals are self-repeating patterns that occur on different length scales and can be seen in nature in a variety of settings, including snowflakes, ferns, and coastlines.

A quantum version of a fractal pattern, known as "Hofstadter's butterfly," has long been predicted, but the new study marks the first time it has been directly observed experimentally in a real ...

The electrons in a twisted piece of graphene show a strange repeating pattern first predicted in 1976, but never directly measured until now ...

[PapaJ06] puts a new twist on it by using a microwave oven transformer to generate fractal patterns in wood. We’ve seen these Lichtenberg figures before, but generally as electric discharges in ...

A team of scientists from Princeton University has measured the energies of electrons in a new class of quantum materials and has found them to follow a fractal pattern. Fractals are self ...

Kerr curator of natural history at the High Desert Museum, does know a lot about fractals, including the definition, as the curator of “Patterns at Play: Fractals in Nature,” a new exhibit ...
