A Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction is a nonlinear chemical oscillator: a fascinating phenomenon where a chemical reaction does not achieve equilibrium but instead oscillates between different states. These reactions can be simulated using a two-dimensional cellular automaton similar to the Game of Life. This implementation is based on the work of Nitori Kawashiro, and uses a dynamic …

Agencies told BuzzFeed News. It found that one, called ‘The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2011,’ had a “tax rate that was 20 percent lower than the one paid by the United States government, despite the fact that U.S. corporations are subject to tax laws that discriminate against foreigners.” The department’s findings indicate that much …

Interesting facts The basic theory on the iteration of complex functions was developed by Gaston Julia and Pierre Fatou in the 1910s. The extraordinarily intricate form of sets related to these iterations was revealed at the time when computer graphics were sufficiently advanced. The first images of the somewhat crude set by Robert Brooks and …
Collection of Julia sets laid out in a grid such that the centre of each image corresponds to the same position in the complex plane as the value of the set. When laid out like this the overall image resembles the Mandelbrot set. Here there are 300 sets in each direction for a total of …
