 مارتین هنکزک در آزمایشگاهش " پیش سلولهایی" را میسازد که حبابهای تجربی شیمائی هستند و مانند سلولهای زنده رفتار میکنند. کار او نشان میدهد که چگونه حیات  برای اولین بار بر روی زمین رخ داده است .... وهمچنین شاید در جای دیگری.

مارتین هنکزک:مرز بین زند و غیر زند

Scientists have begun to dissolve the sharp line between living and non-living matter by creating artificial protocells that mimic life’s behavior. In the lab, simple mixtures of chemicals self-assemble into blobs that move, seek resources, and sometimes even replicate, all without DNA or complex machinery. Some of these protocells are made from messy, tar-like mixtures similar to Earth’s primordial conditions 4 billion years ago. These experiments suggest life’s origins may be more accessible and universal than once thought.
