Understanding how this enzyme achieves its fractal geometry posed a unique challenge. Jan Schuller and his team at the University of Marburg were up to tackle it. They used electron microscopy to ...

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 ...

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 ...
