You can think of a tree as being fractal-like. Here’s a sketch of a tree. Daniel Shiffman / Nature of Code But look closely, and each branch is kind of a “reduced-size copy of the whole”, ...

Calculating fractal branches in tree art. The study was inspired by a visit to the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque in India. Newberry noticed that some of the windows had carvings with stylized trees.

What do fractals have to do with trees? Hold on, one step at a time. I'm going to show you how to create a tree using a fractal, but first let’s take a little detour through the concept of ...

Scientists have studied trees depicted in various works of art and found they contain fractals, following relatively simple mathematical rules also found in branching patterns in nature.

Trees are, in fact, fractal from their seeds to their roots to their leaves to their canopy. If you look closely at the veins of the leaves, you'll notice just how self-similar they are.

Interactive Fractal Tree of Life Zooms In On Earth’s Entire Evolutionary History. A new interactive website shows a phylogenetic tree of everything, as zoomable as Google Earth.

Fractals are a source of endless fascination to me. Life itself relies on many of the concepts of fractals: trees are fractal, as are feathers, coast lines, and many other things in nature.

Microscopic "fractal trees" grown from silver could be the basis of a new type of solar cell, say chemists at the University of California, Davis. "We expect these structures will allow us to make ...
