Fleshing Out a Theory of Biological Design
Steve Laufmann and Michael Egnor explore these and other insights at the intersection of biology and engineering.
Minimal Complexity Problem in Prey Detection by the Sand Scorpion
The scorpion can detect tiny vibrations, of order 1 Angstrom (the size of a hydrogen atom) in amplitude, that emanate from its prey.
Irreducible Complexity in Ant Behavior Triggers a Recognition of Intelligent Design
Recent research draws an unapologetic parallel between human engineering and biological systems.
The Design Connection in Biological Tracking Systems
If organisms resulted from haphazard undirected processes, their design constraints would be few and highly flexible.
Cell Membranes: Dynamic, Communicating, Designed
Simple bilayers of lipids? No! Cell membranes have come into their own as masterful players in numerous cellular functions.
