Humans are sensitive to complexity and regularity in patterns [YKM13, FK97]. The subjective perception of pattern complexity is correlated to algorithmic (Kolmogorov-Chaitin) complexity as defined in computer science [LV08], but also to the frequency of naturally occurring patterns [HGS10]. However, the possible mediational role of natural frequencies in the perception of algorithmic complexity...

Polymers and polymer matrix composites are commonly used materials with applications extending from packaging to delicate electronic devices. Epoxy resins fiber-reinforced epoxy-based have been as adhesives construction parts. Fractal analysis has recognized in science a valuable tool for the microstructural characterization of by connecting fractal characteristics composites’ functional proper...

Nanoarchitected Materials In article number 2200039, Abdolhamid Akbarzadeh and co-workers present a perspective on devising the next generation of carbon-based nanoarchitected metamaterials through inspiration from biological design motifs. demonstrate promising instances for filling empty regions in material property charts to realize lightweight multifunctional advanced materials that may als...
