My colleague and I have published a new study of cactus flowers which may help explain the conundrum. For more than a century ...

The study blends math, statistics and biology to show that this long-held hyperbolic pattern is an anomaly because it doesn't account for the fact that all species on earth are defined as much by ...

An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in ...

Most people know only two things about the appendix: You don’t need it – and if it bursts, you need surgery fast. That basic ...

A long-disputed rule in biology says bigger is better, but a new computer model illuminates why that’s not necessarily true. By Lauren Leffer Published Jan 18, 2024 ...

Selection in Assembly Space. (A) Pictorial representation of the assembly space represents the formation of combinatorial object space from building blocks and physical constraints. (B) Observed copy ...

Assembly theory bridges the gap between physics and biology in explaining how complex objects are identifiable as products of evolution and how reusability of parts allows novelty and identical ...
