Abstract:Natural systems have demonstrated the ability to solve a wide range of adaptive problems as well as the ability to self-assemble in a self-sustaining way that enables them to exponentially increase impact on outcomes related to those problems. In the case of photosynthesis nature solved the problem of harnessing the energy in sunlight and then leveraged self-assembling and self-sustaining processes so that exponentially increasing impact on that problem is reliably achievable. Rather than having to budget a gi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
