Unveiling Nature’s Hidden Complexity: The Discovery of the First Fractal Molecule
Exploring the Intriguing World of Fractals in Nature
Fractals, those fascinating self-similar shapes that retain intricate details when zoomed in, are surprisingly common in the natural world. From snowflakes to coastlines, and even rabbits, various examples exhibit fractal patterns.
