Research in dynamical systems and chaotic attractors has increasingly illuminated the intricate behaviour inherent in nonlinear systems. At its core, this field interweaves concepts from mathematical ...

Turbulence has famously been called "the last great unsolved problem in classical physics" by Richard Feynman. Indeed, the chaotic nature of turbulence makes it nearly impossible to predict, and we ...

Chaos Theory is considered to be one of the three greatest scientific discoveries in the twentieth century. In the early 1960's using a simple system of equations to model convection in the atmosphere ...

Can we find order in chaos? Physicists have shown, for the first time that chaotic systems can synchronize due to stable structures that emerge from chaotic activity. These structures are known as ...

The first stars known to pulsate in a fractal manner have been discovered by physicists in the US and Germany. According to the researchers, the variable stars may be the first “strange non-chaotic ...

Taking the V-day bait, let's ask, "How are geeks spending their supposedly solitary Valentine's Days?" If they are into all that sweet mathematical physics action, they may be envisioning attractors.

The everyday meaning of chaos is complete disorder and confusion. In science, chaos has a different meaning. The word relates to phenomena that are unpredictable in detail but nevertheless conform to ...

Averting floods: the chaotic nature of the weather could be used to prevent heavy downpours. (Courtesy: iStock/Supratim-Bhattacharjee) The chaotic nature of weather could be turned to humanity’s ...
