Fractal antennas

While I remember hearing that fractals can have practical applications in the antenna field, I could not remember where I heard/read this. Upon google-ing it, all I found was a commercial site (often not the best source for reliable information) and a number of incomprehensible (and inconclusive appearing) studies. Does anyone know if/how fractals function as superior antennas?

I’m fairly sure I read the same thing in a science magazine or two. Sorry, no better cite than that.

Here’s a good article on the subject.

Q.E.D.'s link bombed me with several popups, two of which were trying to install crap on my computer.

Oops. Sorry 'bout that. I have Popup Stopper and don’t even notice popups anymore.
