Scientists have developed a new computer model to explore the the interstellar medium, in turn generating stunning images ...

And once you’re aware of those patterns—be it the spiral shape of a galaxy or the whirl of ... The end result is nothing short of art. The fractals are complex, colorful patterns that conjure ...

Collaborating with psychologists and neuroscientists, we measured people’s responses to fractals found in nature (using photos of natural scenes), art (Pollock’s paintings) and mathematics ...

So what could produce such a fractal pattern in galaxy surveys like Sloan? Some of the clumpiness may be a sort of optical illusion known as the Bull’s-eye effect, says Adrian Melott of the ...

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 ...

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 ...
