Three high schoolers and their mentor revisited a century-old theorem to prove that all knots can be found in a fractal called the Menger sponge. In the fall of 2021, Malors Espinosa set out to devise ...

A particular fractal, called Menger’s Sponge, is all about surface appearances. It’s a purely theoretical shape that has infinite surface area and no volume whatsoever. And because of that ...

They sealed the edges with packing tape and the fractal was complete. The nearly 7-foot-tall cube, made of 20 smaller cubes, is the first model Menger Sponge Fractal of its size, according to ...

From Simons Science News (find original story here). The Menger Sponge, a well-studied fractal, was first described in the 1920s. The fractal is cube-like, yet its cross section is quite surprising.

Each cube is an intricate mathematical figure known as a Menger sponge, made of folded business cards. These “origami fractals” were fashioned by software engineer Jeannine Mosely, with ...

The Mosely Snowflake fractal was discovered in 2006 by engineer and origami practitioner Jeannine Mosely, whose construction of the Menger Sponge fractal that same year (also out of business cards ...

But there are many other types of fractal, both in two and three dimensions. The “Menger sponge” is one of the simplest 3D examples. There have been previous attempts at a 3D Mandelbrot image ...
