In nature and universe from living to nonliving things, branching occurs anywhere and anytime, such as the Crab Nebula, forked lightning, river basins, trees, nerves, veins, snow crystals, nervures, and proteoglycan ranging from light-years to kilometers, and to microscale and nanoscales (see Figure 1.1 for selected branching patterns). Hence, branching is a general and important phenomenon that could result in faster and more efficient transfer, dissipation, and distribution of energy and/or matter.
