Owing to these properties, fractal geometry can be used to efficiently estimate the geometrical complexity, and the irregularity of shapes and patterns observed in lung tumour growth (over space ...

“Pollock painted nature’s fractals 25 years ahead of their scientific discovery!” He published the finding in the journal Nature in 1999, creating a stir in the worlds of both art and physic ...

Collaborating with psychologists and neuroscientists, we measured people’s responses to fractals found in nature (using photos of natural scenes), art (Pollock’s paintings) and mathematics ...

Benoit Mandelbrot, who discovered mathematical shapes known as fractals, has died of cancer ... the geometry of a lung or a cauliflower. "If you cut one of the florets of a cauliflower, you ...

But by looking at fractals in art and trees, the researchers hoped to start a discussion. “This theory of proportion outlines an ideal, and provides common terms in which to compare art ...

The math concept hidden in this tree art — geometric shapes known as fractals — is apparent in branching patterns in nature and may be key to humans’ ability to recognize such artwork as ...
