Exactly 50 years after the US-American meteorologist Edward
Lorenz discovered chaos (remember the "butterfly effect"?) the topic
is still as fascinating as ever. A new visualization technique developed at the
University of Vienna helps to make chaos visible to the naked eye. The method,
which is being published in "Royal Society Interface", allows for the
intuitive interpretation of chaotic or nearly chaotic phenomena, and thus makes
the fascinating world of chaos theory more accessible to the scientific
community.
