Self-organization principle

A self-organizing principle for learning nonlinear manifolds. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 99 (25), 15869-15872. 

Under many practical situations such as in biological systems, above-mentioned two self-organization principles are not always distinguishable so clearly. Contrary, they often play their roles in different spatio-temporal scales to bring about highly complicated structures in open systems. A biological system is a good but not the only example we can find it in a very simple system as well.

In addition to studying individual molecules, AFM has been intensively used for characterization of molecular assemblies, such as supramolecular complexes, BCP micelles, and crystallites. Molecular assemblies are governed by self-organization principles, that is, minimization of the total free energy, and usually demonstrate well-defined shapes and characteristic...
