A Japanese research team has discovered a new principle called the global constraint principle that explains why organism growth slows as nutrients increase, unifying classic laws like Monod's equation and Liebig's law, and providing a broader understanding of biological growth limits across all life forms.
Researchers at Northwestern University have found that the structural features of brains from humans, mice, and fruit flies are near a critical point similar to a phase transition, suggesting a universal principle may govern brain structure. This discovery could lead to new computational models that emulate brain complexity, as the brain's structure appears to be in a delicate balance between two phases, exhibiting fractal-like patterns and other hallmarks of criticality.
