Back in the 1920s, Theodor Kaluza and Oskar Klein developed an idea that unified Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism with Einstein’s theory of relativity. That was an impressive feat but it had one ...

It has been known that nanoparticles, for example, exhibit quite different properties from the bulk samples of the same materials. Yet nobody knows why. Ehime University researchers discovered a ...

Quantum physics is too weird for many people to understand, and part of the weirdness is due to some of its counter-intuitive features. For example, many quantum phenomena are bound by Heisenberg’s ...

(Nanowerk News) Nanoparticles, for example, exhibit quite different properties from the bulk samples of the same materials. Yet nobody knows why. We discovered a control method of the fractal ...

Fractals and dimensions “Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles and bark is not smooth nor does lightning travel in straight line.” - B. Mandelbrot in The Fractal ...

Cancer researchers are investigating a new tool to use for the prognosis of breast cancer in patients. The scientists are using fractal dimension analysis to quantitatively assess the degree of ...
