fluorescently labeled cytoskeleton and nucleus. (B) Reaction-diffusion waves in
a Belousov-Zabatinski reaction in a 3.5-inch Petri dish. (C) A simple aggregate
of 3 mm-sized, rotating, magnetized disks interacting with one another via
vortex-vortex interactions. (D) A school of fish. (E) Concentric rings formed by
charged metallic beads 1 mm in diameter rolling in circular paths on a dielectric
