The constructal law was postulated in 1996 as the law of physics that accounts for the
phenomenon of time evolution of configuration in all flow systems that have the freedom to …

This article addresses the main research areas identified in the call for contributions to this

This is a review of recent work on how the physics of evolution accounts for the origin,
changes and future of social systems. Evolution means the changes (spatial, temporal) that …

Here we document the deterministic evolution of capillary networks that morph by
connecting more and more branches to water sources. The network grows with the objective …

This is a book about energy storage in modern civilization, beginning from the Neolithic
through the early modern and contemporary periods. The origin of the book traces back …

This article shows that the sudden end of economic expansion (movement, wealth) emerges
as a natural, physical feature of the spreading movement, which has access to power …

Cells associated with an abnormal (cancerous) growth exchange flows, morph freely and
grow hand-in-glove with their immediate environment, the extracellular matrix (ECM). The …

Abstract Economies around the world are greatly affected by global transport. The
movement of freight between starting and end points can occur in numerous different ways …

Human society is an open system that evolves by coupling with various known and unknown
(energy) fluxes. How do these dynamics unfold precisely? Energetics may provide further …

Why does social organization happen by itself? Why does it evolve as the movement of the
members of the society increases? Why does the organization become more hierarchical …
