Exponentially small resistance in crossed static magnetic and microwave fields occurs in ultrapure two dimensional electron gases (2DEG), while in less pure systems the magnetoresistance oscillates but is always positive. A non-perturbative theory of self-organization explains the new collective states in terms of open orbits. There are analogies to many other anomalous physical phenomena, as well as to scaling and evolutionary principles of biophysics.
