OMSI Science Pub: Fractals!

Snowflakes, Stress, or Semiconductors: Do You See a Pattern Here?

Richard Taylor sees a pattern. The University of Oregon professor of physics is leading the way with internationally recognized research into fractals—curious patterns found in nature that repeat themselves. Taylor’s startling discoveries show that these patterns-within-patterns may significantly reduce stress and have interesting implications for psychology, medicine, and even the semiconductor industry.
