What are Fractals?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Fractals are geometric shapes<\/strong>\u00a0that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over<\/strong> in an ongoing feedback loop. Example- Koch snowflake<\/strong>– a shape that begins as an equilateral triangle, and in each subsequent step, every side becomes the base for a new triangle.<\/p>\n

2. Fractal patterns are extremely familiar, since nature is full of fractals. For instance: human fingerprints, tree rings, shells of snails, graphene etc.<\/p>\n

What are the applications of fractality?<\/h2>\n

1. The first attempt to apply fractal analysis in physics was for Brownian motion<\/strong> \u2013 the rapid, random, zigzagging motion of small particles suspended in a liquid medium, like pollen in water.<\/p>\n

2. Fractals can be applied in data compression, to design more compact antennae.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Some have used it for studying patterns in galaxies and cell biology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thus, they provide a unique tool to understand complex systems and patterns in nature.<\/strong><\/p>\n
