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 ...

Fractional calculus extends the classical notions of differentiation and integration to non-integer orders, offering an adaptable framework that is particularly well suited to modelling anomalous ...

From heavenly bodies to human cells, everything in this universe? possesses finite dimensions in three directions in space, namely everything in the real world is three-dimensional, according to ...

The surface metrology expert at Digital Surf, François Blateyron, outlines what Scale-Sensitive Fractal Analysis is and how it is used, as a new SSFA optional module is made available to users of ...

Several recent papers developed and applied a novel approach for the analysis of animal movement paths, based on calculating the paths' fractal dimensions. The estimated fractal dimension is used to ...

In a finding that could shed light on tissue formation, wound healing and cancer spread, a new study shows that human cells follow the same rules as non-living particles to form fractal-like branching ...

Average fractal dimensions of aggregates of fluorescent microspheres were measured as a function of mean shear rate and ionic strength using a new technique that relies on simultaneous measurement of ...
