To the untrained eye, the Mandelbrot-Set might look chaotic and the arrangement of the patterns seem random. But they are the opposite, they are arranged to very precise rules and you can find all kind of mathematics just by observing the Mandelbrot-Set. Basic Calculus: Counting: The tips of the smaller and smaller bulbs to the right …

A study published in Nature showed that embracing the structure of fractal Fern leaves, is a possible new and better way to store Solar energy. Today, solar energy is stored in battery banks. Researchers are working on using supercapacitors to do the same thing, but the energy density is restricted which limits the storage. By using …

Until recently, scientists couldn’t understand why a broad range of membrane proteins display anomalous diffusion on the cell surface within human cells. Due to several technical, and experimental restrictions, scientists could never visualize this odd behavior off cells. In this new study, scientists were finally able to visualize this process by imaging cortical actin, and by …

Mandelbulb3d is probably the best known and most widespread software to generate 3d fractal images and movies. It has a steep learning curve but with the help of our tutorials even beginners will get nice results.
To explore the Mandelbrot-Set and other famous 2d-fractals, one of the fastest Mandelbrot-renderer for the deepest still images and zoom movies.
JWildfire is a free software best known for it’s awesome flame-fractal generator.
