1 ORIGIN of the UNIVERSE Chemistry starts around here 13.7 billion years Life on Earth PHYSICS 40th Anniversary EUROPEAN SCIENCE FOUNDATION Strasbourg CHEMISTRY May Towards 15th Complex 2014 Matter Science and Society Some Reflections BIOLOGY with some Emphasis on Chemistry.. Thought

2 EVOLUTION of the UNIVERSE COMPLEXITY INFORMATION MAT TER? thinking Towards Complex Matter Evolution of Matter under the Pressure of Information divided condensed organized living T I ME

3 HOW DOES THE MATTER BIG BECOME QUESTION COMPLEX? How has matter become complex in the evolution of the universe from the elementary particle to the thinking organism? What higher forms of complex matter are here to be evolved, to be created? CHEMISTRY PHYSICS The laws of the Universe BIOLOGY The rules of Life The BRIDGE towards COMPLEX MATTER

4 SELF-ORGANIZATION as a COSMIC IMPERATIVE THE PATH TOWARDS COMPLEX MATTER DIVIDED CONDENSED - ORGANIZED LIVING THINKING MATTER!

11 SUPRAMOLECULAR POLYMERS first publication in 1990 as BIOCOMPATIBLE POLYMERS First Worldwide Application for Cardiovascular Implants Development by the company based on supramolecular polymers of cardiovascular implants Surgical treatment of children born with severe congenital cardiac malformation and requiring cardiac reconstruction. FIRST In MAN : A breakthrough in surgical practice Three months check-up Dominika Leo BOKERIA First implantation on a 4 year old girl successfully performed by Professor Leo BOKERIA, (Bakoulev Scientific Center of Cardiovascular Surgery,Moscow) on October 23rd Up to now: 5 successful implantations performed

17 NOT JUST «NATURAL» Là dove natura finisce di produrre le sue spezie, quivi l'uomo comincia con le cose naturali, con l'auditorio di essa natura, a creare infinite spezie. Leonardo da Vinci Where nature finishes to produce its own species, man begins, using natural things, in harmony with this very nature, to create an infinity of species. ( ) Leonardo da Vinci MAN MADE!!

18 The ESSENCE of SCIENCE is not just to discover but to CREATE NOVEL EXPRESSIONS of COMPLEX MATTER The BOOK of Science is not just to be read, it is to be WRITTEN The SCORE of Science is not just to be played, it is to be COMPOSED SCIENCE THE CREATIVE POWER

19 SCIENCE Auguste RODIN ( ) the ART of MATTER!

20 PROMETHEUS CONQUERED THE FIRE, we cannot give it back. Our path leads us from the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE to the CONTROL OF OUR DESTINY!
