Abstract

The mechanism that actually drives self-organization revealed by plasma experiments offers a new insight concerning fundamental knowledge potentially important for nanoscience. It reveals that at the genuine origin of the memory proper to complex space charge configuration emerged by self-organization in plasma is a mechanism based on extraction of matter and thermal energy from the surroundings. This takes place, similar to the mechanism used by living organism, by exploiting collective effects of quantum processes. The informational content of these experiments potentially elucidates one of the fundamental problems concerning the mechanism by which the so-called intelligent materials work..
