Effect of diversity distribution symmetry on global oscillations of networks of excitable units
Stefano Scialla, Marco Patriarca, Els Heinsalu +2
We investigate the role of the degree of symmetry of the diversity distribution in shaping the collective dynamics of networks of coupled excitable units modeled by FitzHugh-Nagumo…
Wavy membranes and the growth rate of a planar chemical garden: Enhanced diffusion and bioenergetics
Yang Ding, Bruno Batista, Oliver Steinbock +2
In order to model ion transport across protocell membranes in Hadean hydrothermal vents, we consider both theoretically and experimentally the planar growth of a precipitate membra…
Pearls Are Self-Organized Natural Ratchets
Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Antonio G. Checa, Marthe Rousseau
Pearls, the most flawless and highly prized of them, are perhaps the most perfectly spherical macroscopic bodies in the biological world. How are they so round? Why are other pearl…
Brinicles as a case of inverse chemical gardens
Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Bruno Escribano, Diego L. González +2
Brinicles are hollow tubes of ice from centimetres to metres in length that form under floating sea ice in the polar oceans when dense, cold brine drains downwards from sea ice int…
Beyond crystals: the dialectic of materials and information
Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Alan L. Mackay
We argue for a convergence of crystallography, materials science and biology, that will come about through asking materials questions about biology and biological questions about m…
