Emergence in Chemical Systems Conference June 22-26 University of Alaska, Anchorage
The spontaneous increase of complexity, from nucleons to atoms to compounds to cells to organism and society, is a basic property of nature. It involves the continuous creation of new entities and processes. The subject of this conference is to try to understand this drive to increase complexity and to creatively participate in the process.
The conference sections are:
Constructing Chemical Complexity
Transition from Non-living to Living Matter
Complex Networks of Physical and Chemical Processes
