Uma lei da física pode ajudar a explicar a variabilidade das espécies? 🧬⚙️

Acabamos de publicar um novo artigo na BioSystems:

“A Constructal Law interpretation of species variability: Insights from microalgae”

DOI: 10.1016/j.biosystems.2026.105809

[André B. Mariano @andrebmariano]

O trabalho é fruto de uma colaboração internacional e interdisciplinar entre pesquisadores dos Dep Genética, Eng Elétrica e Eng Mecânica da @UFPR e da Florida State University, por meio do Department of Mechanical Engineering e do Center for Advanced Power Systems (CAPS), EUA.

🚨 What if the greatest mystery in biology was solved by a physics law?

A new paper explains the endosymbiotic origin of eukaryotes (and mitochondria) using the Constructal Law.

Mind-blowing interdisciplinary science from UFPR!
Proud to be a co-author 🇧🇷

Could the Constructal Law be the missing piece in the puzzle of how complex life began?

This changes how we think about evolution.

🚨 Can a Physics Law explain Evolution better than Darwin alone?

UFPR researchers just published a bold new interpretation of species variability and adaptation in microalgae using the Constructal Law.

This could reshape how we understand biological evolution.
