Morphogenesis

Morphogenesis

Plant morphogenesis—the development of a plant’s form and structure—involves several overlapping developmental processes, including growth and cell differentiation. Precursor cells differentiate into specific cell types, which are organized into the tissues and organ systems that make up the functional plant.

Area of Science:

Metasurfaces
Computational Electromagnetics
Generative Design

Background:

Alan Turing's reaction-diffusion theory explains biological morphogenesis.
Metasurfaces offer control over electromagnetic wave properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To synthesize radiating metasurfaces using reaction-diffusion principles.
To enable procedural generation of self-organizing meta-atoms for electromagnetic applications.

Main Methods:

Adaptation of Turing's morphogenesis for procedural synthesis.
Designing anisotropic cellular patterns based on local electromagnetic constraints.
Simulating chemical reactant interactions to guide meta-atom self-organization.

Main Results:

Successfully synthesized morphogenetic metasurfaces.
Achieved controlled radiation of waves in frequency, space, and polarization.
Demonstrated generation of circularly polarized beams and polarization-multiplexed holograms.

Conclusions:

Morphogenesis-inspired models are effective for generative design of metasurfaces.
Local interactions can lead to emergent self-organizing meta-atoms satisfying global constraints.
This approach facilitates the design of advanced radiating structures.
