From T-patterns to T-strings to T-societies: What makes humans unique?
Over half a century ago, Professor Magnus S Magnusson, now at the Human Behavior Laboratory of the University of Iceland, set out to define what separates humans from all other animal species. By detecting and analysing interaction patterns of behaviour from the nanoscale to human scales, he discovered T-societies in both proteins and humans. This breakthrough led to the realisation […]

Integer-dimensional fractals of nonlinear dynamics
Fractal dimension was developed as a quantitative measure of complex, irregular objects, essentially because it had been accepted that fractals could not be characterised by integer dimensions. Dr Zonglu He, a Professor of Economics at Kaetsu University, is challenging this basic concept with her novel finding that fractals actually can occur in integer dimensional space-times. Her research demonstrates the consistency of both fractional and […]
