Scientists are learning what nature has known for years--that nonlinear and chaotic systems can provide improved performance. Biological systems, from the nonlinear electrical control signals in the heart to computational methods in the brain, use nonlinear and chaotic processes to survive. The challenge is to understand and apply these techniques to improve man-made designs.

Mention nonlinearity, noise and chaos to most engineers, and they will tell you that they were taught to design systems to avoid these pitfalls. But a group of Navy scientists at the Space and ...
