Final reminder! 👋 Abstracts for NetSci 2026 are due January 9 (anywhere on Earth). Join us in celebrating the 20th anniversary of NetSci in Boston, June 1–5, 2026. Submission details here: netsci2026.com/call-for-abstr…

From blood vessels to neurons, physical networks are modeled as wires optimized for length. In @Nature we how surface minimization, via a surprising link to string theory, explains brain and vascular architecture, including neuronal sprouting. Paper: barabasi.com/science/public…

Surface minimization explains previously mysterious features of physical networks—and even predicts sprouting, the mechanism neurons use to form synapses. A wonderful collaboration with Xiangyi Meng, @csabath95 , Ben Piazza & @baruchbarzel . Cover Image by @peterpuklus.
