Utilizing chemo-mechanical oscillations to mimic protocell behavior in manufactured microcapsules

The complexity of life on Earth was derived from simplicity: From the first protocells to the growth of any organism, individual cells aggregate into basic clumps and then form more complex structures. The earliest cells ...

Simulations show swirling rings, whirlpool-like structure in subatomic 'soup'

At its start, the universe was a superhot melting pot that very briefly served up a particle soup resembling a "perfect," frictionless fluid. Scientists have recreated this "soup," known as quark-gluon plasma, in high-energy ...
