One transistor can become an oscillator with a surprising richness of behavior. However, even more interesting effects emerge if the structure of connections is fractal and shows some imperfections.

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Every year around this time I think of the ...

Fractals are becoming popular for when it comes to designing microwave and radio-frequency antennas thanks to their “self-similarity” that allows the antenna to better collect and focus broadband, ...

NACOGDOCHES, TX (KTRE) - It took 300 hundred students about two hoursto break a Guinness World Record for their Sierpinski triangle. During STEM day at SFAstudents got hands on learning experience in ...

Cellular automata are a set of rules followed to form different patterns. (i.e. The Chaos Game) There is no one fixed set of rules to form all patterns, there can be infinitely many. The evolution of ...

A Sierpinksi carpet is one of the more famous fractal objects in mathematics. Creating one is an iterative procedure. Start with a square, divide it into nine equal squares and remove the central one.

One transistor, just a pair of inductors and capacitors. Such a simple electronic circuit can become an oscillator with a surprising richness of behavior. However, even more interesting effects become ...
