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 ...

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 ...

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 11:45 AM EST Add Popular Science ...

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 ...

Lizards exist on every continent except Antarctica, but a select few have grown into apex-scale reptiles. This deep dive explores how temperature regulation, diet, and genetics helped them reach ...
