Back in the 1920s, Theodor Kaluza and Oskar Klein developed an idea that unified Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism with Einstein’s theory of relativity. That was an impressive feat but it had one ...

Quantum physics is too weird for many people to understand, and part of the weirdness is due to some of its counter-intuitive features. For example, many quantum phenomena are bound by Heisenberg’s ...

People most often see fractals in the familiar, irregular branching shapes of nature -- a leaf, or tree, or snowflake. A repeating pattern of ever-smaller branches gives these structures a unique ...

(Nanowerk News) Nanoparticles, for example, exhibit quite different properties from the bulk samples of the same materials. Yet nobody knows why. We discovered a control method of the fractal ...

Cancer researchers are investigating a new tool to use for the prognosis of breast cancer in patients. The scientists are using fractal dimension analysis to quantitatively assess the degree of ...

Physicists have created an oddity known as a quantum fractal, a structure that could reveal new and strange types of electron behaviors. Fractals are patterns that repeat themselves on different ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – When it comes to miniature electronics, scientists have seen the shape of things to come -- and that shape is a fractal. People most often see fractals in the familiar, irregular ...
