Life moves in mysterious ways—and perhaps especially so for organisms that undergo dramatic shifts in levels of ...

Chara corallina myosin XI (CcXI) drives the movement of actin filaments, which spontaneously form ring-like structures due to a slight curvature that leads to polar alignment. Living cells are highly ...

Scientists in the Brivanlou lab used light-inducible gene expression (yellow circle) and embryo models to demonstrate that, at the start of gastrulation, body-axis formation requires an interplay ...

Researchers at Harvard have developed a fleet of "RAnts" that mirror the self-organizing genius of ant colonies to build and ...

Biological processes depend on puzzle pieces coming together and interacting. Under specific conditions, these interactions can create something new without external input. This is called ...

If you want to get organized and be more productive, you might feel overwhelmed by the enormous amount of websites, posts, books, and methods of self-organization. Where should you start? If you are ...

Researchers have demonstrated that self-organization of neurons as they 'learn' follows a mathematical theory called the free energy principle. The principle accurately predicted how real neural ...

Hours before starving bacteria begin assembling into visible structures, a deep-learning system built at Rice University can ...
