Fractal Phenomena In The Nanoparticles Aggregation

Fractal is a fragmented geometry of an object that can be subdivided into a reduced-size copy of the whole. Any chaotic or irregular phenomena can be described by fractal geometry. In fact, fractal objects possess extreme invariance under special contractions. Hence fractals are not just pretty images generated by computer simulation of the mathematical equations but also describe some physical properties. Fractals appear in the tiny membrane of a livening cell, and can also describe the distribution of galaxies in the universe. Fractals although have been described as chaotic patterns but with a deep look, it is possible to see the hidden symmetry behind it. Scientists in all disciplines are working to find applications of fractals, to predict the stock market, describe DNA multiplication and cell growth, the shape of clouds, galaxies, heart beats and telecommunications. Studying all these phenomena suggests that chaos is very organized and follows some patterns. The tough work is to find out these patterns.
