The Mandelbrot set – someone has called it the thumb-print of God – is one of the most beautiful and remarkable discoveries in the entire history of mathematics.
With Arthur C. Clarke as narrator and interviews with a number of notable mathematicians, including Benoît Mandelbrot, this program graphically illustrates how simple formulas can lead to complicated results: it explains the set, what it means, its internal consistency, and the revolutions in thought resulting from its discovery...Read Full Story
A java applet which generates and displays your choice of 3d fractal. Compatible with 3D glasses (optional). Welcome to Incendia. Incendia is a 3D Multiprocessor Fractal Engine that allows you to explore the realm of the 3D fractals. It certainly describes 3D fractal landscape generation. To generate a landscape, simply assign random heights to the three vertices of an equilateral triangle,Read Full Story
Resource on the bicomplex generalization of the Mandelbrot set. Includes scientific publications, illustrations, news and downloads. Today we're featuring 40 fractal images created using Apophysis. It's a free Windows program for designing and rendering fractal flames. What we have featured in this article is a potential 3D version of the same fractal. For the impatient, you can skip to the nice pics,Read Full Story

Todd Johnson's Shockfossils are "multimillion volt Lichtenberg figures in acrylic." He masks acrylic slabs with lead and then rents time on a commercial particle accelerator and the result are beautiful, fern-like fractals. Shockfossils on deviantART
*Since they’re “just math,” it’s interesting that old-fashioned fractals look so 1980s compared to modern fractals.
*So what will fractals look like in twenty years? I guess if they knew that, they’d be uploading those right now.

Social fractals and social control myths help explain the complete corruption of America. Correspondent Kathy K. recently elucidated a powerful concept: social fractals. We typically think of fractals--structures that are scale-invariant--as features of ...
Fractals are geometric patterns that repeat on ever-shrinking scales. Many natural objects, like ferns, tree branches, and lung bronchial systems are shaped like fractals. Fractals can also be seen in many of the swirling patterns produced by computer...(read more)

Chaos deals with nonlinear dynamical systems. Learn about Chaos Theory or discuss topics such as lotenz systems, the butterfly effect, and modeling turbulent fluid systems such as the climate and weather. Fractals are used especially in computer modeling of irregular patterns and structures in nature.
