Wherever we look, we find ordered structures: from stars to planets to living cells. This book shows that the same driving force is behind structure everywhere: the incessant random motion of the components of matter. Physicists call it thermal noise. Let?s call it the molecular storm. This storm drives the fusion reactions that make stars shine. It drives whirlpools and currents in atmospheres and oceans. It spins and distorts molecules until they are in the right orientation to react and form new substances. In living cells, it drives proteins to fold and molecules to self-assemble. It is behind every detail of the astonishing molecular machines that control cellular processes. Using cutting-edge research, ?Molecular Storms? takes us on a dazzling journey from the early universe to the interior of the smallest living things. There, in a nanoscale world of biological devices, it explains the physics behind the chemical system which we call Life. Whether you're someone with a general interest in science or a student looking to add context to your studies, this book is for you. "Molecular Storms" is an accessible and captivating read that will deepen your appreciation of the power of science to explain the world. 606 $aStochastic processes 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aLife$xOrigin 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aStochastic Processes 606 $aQuantum Physics 606 $aComplex Systems 606 $aOrigin of Life 606 $aNeuroscience 615 0$aStochastic processes. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 0$aLife$xOrigin. 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 14$aStochastic Processes. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aOrigin of Life. 615 24$aNeuroscience. 676 $a530.12 676 $a530.12 700 $aGraham$b Liam$01437397 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910760253603321 996 $aMolecular Storms$93598047 997 $aUNINA
