SELF-ORGANIZATION. “Nonclassical crystallization has many facets, which so far may appear unrelated. However, the common underlying principle is controlled self organization. As this is a common principle in nature, we can further learn from natural organization schemes to take advantage of evolutionary optimization.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

BIOLOGY IN CHEMISTRY. “Mesocrystal formation has a lot in common with known biological structuration processes and one can state that there is certainly a lot of "biology" involved in such nonclassical crystallization processes. This is also found in the related field of the so called biomorphs.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

BIOMIMICRY. “In addition, the close similarity between the structural cascades from primary to quaternary structures can explain the "bio-Iike" appearance and morphologies of many crystals formed by a nonclassical crystallization pathway. The formation of biopolymer quaternary structures from several different molecules (e.g., the insulin tertiary structure is formed from chain A and B) implies that it should also be possible to form mesocrystals that consist of chemically different nanocrystals.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

LEVELS OF STRUCTURE. “Finally, the interaction between several tertiary units of a biopolymer forms the quaternary structure, for instance the fibrils in the collagen example in Figure 15. The analogy in the nonclassical crystallization scenario is the mesocrystal. with an either self-determined morphology (this is the usual case) or a morphology determined by an external template, which is likely the case for some biominerals.” https://lnkd.in/eNACsghr View in LinkedIn

ASSUMING WE DO NOT SNUFF OUT. “The lifespan of a typical mammalian species is about 1 million years. Let’s think about a future in which humanity exists for 1 million years: 200,000 years are already behind us, so there would be 800,000 years still ahead. There would be 100 trillion people alive over the next 800,000 years.” https://lnkd.in/ek-46aW8 View in LinkedIn

THE WATERFALL. “When a connecting region opens up, the rate of interaction is diluted among the increased amount of available points of interaction.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

FLOWING WATER. “At any constriction formed by matter, information will be more quickly communicated through the empty space, i.e. the openings or connecting regions.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

VISUALIZATION. “The simplest illustration of the subsequent effect is in flat space-time, where the density of quantum fluctuations can be assumed to be constant compared to the vacuum reference frame, and the intuitive picture is that of figure 3.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn
