Fractal-like hierarchical organization of bone
" By combining three-dimensional electron tomography with two-dimensional electron microscopy, Reznikov et al. observed structural ordering from the nanoscale upward. At the smallest scale, needle-shaped mineral units form platelets that organize into stacks bridging multiple collagen units." Full article @ Science.

Goblins! Fractal Soundtracks
"This is called "Kinesis". It's an audio-visual representation of a Fractal Social Organization (FSO). FSO is a novel class of socio-technical complex systems characterized by a distributed, bio-inspired, hierarchical architecture. Based on a same building block that is recursively applied at different layers, FSO-based systems provide a homogeneous way to model collective behaviors of different complexity and scale." See note from Vincenzo De Florio | LinkedIn

IBM Fractalize
"Just one of the main building blocks of the universe. Known as ‘God’s thumbprint,’ these simple math formulas reveal the intricate recursive patterns found within nature, yet still remain one of science’s best-kept secrets. Follow along as we explore the contours, curiosities and creator of this beautiful wonder of the computer age. 'A fractal is a way of seeing infinity.' —Benoit B. Mandelbrot."
