Frontier at your fingertips
Article Abstract:
The collective behavior of matter between the nano- and micrometre scales can give rise to startling emergent properties. The concepts of 'emergence' and competition between orders for formation of collective behavior in physics are similar to those in evolutionary biology, which indicates the possibility of a frontier that will link biology and physics.
