This intricate object is a Mandelbulb. No, not a piece of hyperbolic crochet but possibly the most accurate three-dimensional representation yet of the famous fractal Mandelbrot set. From fern leaves ...

After a nearly 40-year chase, physicists have found experimental proof for one of the first fractal patterns known to quantum physics: the Hofstadter butterfly. Named after Douglas Hofstadter, the ...

In mathematics, simple equations can generate a complex evolution in time and intriguing patterns in space. One famous example of this is the Mandelbrot set, named after the French-American ...
