“But then we realized that our nanocauliflowers also had the same self-similar fractal features as those of the plant,” he adds. Through experiments on its CVD carbon films, the team studied the ...

– F J Dyson, as quoted by Benoît Mandelbröt, The Fractal Nature of Geometry. The last and most striking feature of fractals is that are not one-, two- or three-dimensional, but somewhere in ...

There are many types of fractals, both in two and three dimensions, but the most famous is the 2D Mandelbrot set, shown here. Past attempts to extend it to the third dimension have met with ...
