Sommario/riassunto

This accessible volume delivers a complete design methodology for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Focusing on the scaling of an autonomous micro-system, it explains the real-world problems and theoretical concepts of several different aspects inherent to the miniaturization of sensors and actuators. It reports on the analysis of dimensional scaling, the modelling, design and experimental characterization of a wide range of specific devices and applications, including: temperature microsensors based on an integrated complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) t

Sommario/riassunto

Understanding consciousness is the most important scientific principle left to be understood. That is particularly true with the ready availability of software for Artificial Intelligence. The conventional way of thinking about evolution is focused on materiality, whereas a true understanding of evolution can only be understood by re-focusing on the flow of energy in service to Symbiogenesis. This book focuses on the role of quantum mechanics in the process of evolution, based on the perspective of energy flow rather than the description of biologic materiality. A basic understanding of that frame-shift is comparable to the Periodic Table of Elements showing the interrelationship between the alchemical description of matter and its energetic origin in the Big Bang. Based on the author's earlier works going back 25 years regarding the role of cell-cell communication in development and speciation, this book is designed to encourage an across space-time perspective on how and why we have evolved. "Energy and Evolution posits that the flow of energy is the primary force driving evolution in our Universe. This perspective offers a superior framework for understanding biological complexity and environmental adaptability. Evolution is presented not as a series of random mutations and adaptations but as a cohesive and purposeful progression toward enhanced communication and efficiency within and between organisms. Central to this thesis are symbiogenesis and quantum entanglement, which highlight the Universe’s interconnectedness and emphasize collaboration and energy synergy over Darwinian competition. The book explores the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio as self-organizing principles inherent in complex systems, ranging from the micro to the macro—from the periodic table to the cosmos, and even in consciousness, human development, and aging. Fibonacci spirals are described as symbolizing the constant oscillation between conscious and unconscious states, akin to the balance between gravitational and radiant forces. While speculative and ambitious in scope, Energy and Evolution represents a sincere effort to integrate mathematics, cosmology, biology, consciousness research, and modern physics into a comprehensive theory that holds profound implications for understanding humanity’s origins and future paths."
