Snowflakes, Stress and Semiconductors: Do You See a Pattern Here? ...
Fractals are patterns that repeat at many magnifications. These intricate patterns are found throughout nature, ranging from clouds, rivers and lightning through to our brains, blood vessels and lungs. Due to their prevalence in nature and their growing impact on cultures around the world, fractals...

Fractals are patterns that repeat at many magnifications.
