NATURE IS SMARTER. "A large number of scientific and industrial crystallization processes are controlled by additives but often in an empirical manner. Biominerals on the other hand demonstrate that nature is a real master of the additive-controlled crystallization." https://lnkd.in/gT7C6yF View in LinkedIn

THE ASYMMETRIC UNIVERSE. "Ferroelectricity is an example of the general phenomenon in which a system can be switched between two states of orientation by the application of a force. These phenomena are essential for many organic, biological molecules, and all living systems in our asymmetric universe." https://lnkd.in/eBe5QYb View in LinkedIn

CRYSTAL GROWTH BLACK BOX. "There are no general principles for explaining crystal growth processes of organic molecules. In addition, it still remains very difficult to observe the process with the latest microscopes." https://lnkd.in/dR7Kdj8 View in LinkedIn

EARLY INSIGHT. "Relations may exist between ferroelectricity, the formation of liquid crystals, and the generation of electric impulses in nerves and muscles." https://lnkd.in/eBe5QYb View in LinkedIn

TRANSIENT WATER. "Perturbation, at the nano-level, of the hydrophyllic heads of the phospholipid bilayer structure of the cell membrane, by a retrovirus such as reverse transcriptase (RT), creates transients in the oscillatory behavior of cellular H2O." http://www.nsti.org/procs/Nanotech2008v2/3/M81.215 View in LinkedIn

FERROMAGNETS. "Some crystalline states are capable of ferromagnetic behavior because of quantum mechanic considerations. Electrons in neighboring orbitals in certain crystals "know" about each other's spin states. In order to avoid sharing the same orbital with the same spin (not allowed by Pauli' exclusion principle) electron spins in such crystals act in a coordinated fashion." https://lnkd.in/eaPaaK2 View in LinkedIn

MAJOR BIOMAGNETS. "Magnetic anisotropy in biological materials has been increasingly reported. The orientation of retinal rod outer segments, chloroplasts, photosynthetic algae and bacteria, purple membranes, and nucleic acids in magnetic fields of several kilogauss have been attributed to diamagnetic anisotropy of the molecular components." https://lnkd.in/eadsVkd View in LinkedIn

FOCUS ON ANIMAL BODY PLANS. "Much has been written about the initial appearance and subsequent evolution of metazoan body plans, particularly in terms of the great Cambrian `explosion' and the attending evolutionary debut of multicellular animal body plans during a comparatively brief period of time." https://lnkd.in/dqAQfMR View in LinkedIn
