Hyperuniformity Found In Birds, Math And Physics
You can see a pretty concrete example of this in forests, the trees are all densely packed, and random- and thus fall under hyperuniform. (as far as I can tell, anyway. Haven't exactly tested it, but it sure looks hyperuniform.) I've noticed it in a handful of other things, but I never knew there was an actual thing behind it.<p>Absolutely fascinating, and it's applications in materials are amazing. Whatever-direction bandpass filters? Crazy cool.
