Self-organization in nonequilibrium systems has been known for over 50 years. Under
nonequilibrium conditions, the state of a system can become unstable and a transition to an …

Coordination within and between organisms is one of the most complex abilities of living
systems, requiring the concerted regulation of many physiological constituents, and this …

Self-organization in a voltage-driven nonequilibrium system, consisting of conducting beads
immersed in a viscous medium, gives rise to a dynamic tree structure that exhibits wormlike …

The place of living organisms in the natural world is a nearly perennial question in
philosophy and the sciences; how can inanimate matter yield animate beings? A dominant …

This work addresses the kinetic requirements for compensating the entropic cost of self-
organization and natural selection, thereby revealing a fundamental principle in biology …

Darwin proposed that the capacity of organisms to produce more offspring that can be
supported by the environment would lead to a struggle for existence, and individuals that are …

Recently in the physical sciences, new concepts have emerged from the study of dissipative
structures which offer a new basis for our understanding of many phenomena in the …

Far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics underpins the emergence of life, but how has been a
long-outstanding puzzle. Best candidate theories based on the maximum entropy production …

Self-organization in nonequilibrium systems resulting in the formation of dissipative
structures has been studied in a variety of systems, most prominently in chemical systems …

Physical systems open to a flow of energy can exhibit spontaneous symmetry breaking and
self-organization. These nonequilibrium self-organized systems are known as dissipative …
