COVER STORY
Self-Organization: From Phenomenology to Technology
Self-organized structures and dynamics have been realized in various scientific fields involving different constituents, such as large molecular assemblies, compound mixtures, fluid flows, networks, and recursive programs. Many of these have been known for a long time, but their descriptions have stayed at a phenomenological level. The turning point was the onset of nanotechnology about 15 years ago, which had promoted self-organization to be a molecular manipulation tool. Here, we review self-organization from the view point of phenomenological descriptions as well as technological advancements.
