(Phys.org)—Researchers have found that a snowflake-like fractal design, in which the same pattern repeats at smaller and smaller scales, can increase graphene's inherently low optical absorption. The ...

For decades, cosmologists have wondered if the large-scale structure of the universe is a fractal: if it looks the same no matter the scale. And the answer is: no, not really. But in some ways, yes.

Electrons can be completely trapped within fractal structures using precisely tuned magnetic fields — a quantum effect with possible applications in computing and information processing 1. Fractals, ...
