Fractals are a fascinating type of pattern for mathematics nerds, with their repeating, artificial-looking structures. Now, scientists have discovered the first known fractal protein – and it seems to ...

In a first, scientists have stumbled across a natural protein that follows a mathematical pattern of self-similarity called a fractal. The peculiar protein changes our understanding of self-assembly ...

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-repeating ...
