Most of the basic building blocks can be produced in simple experiments under early Earth-like conditions. However, certain complex cellular behaviours, like movement, have always seemed far-beyond this a-biotic synthesis. That is, until now. Research done by Prof. Stoyan Smoukov’s team at QMUL is showing us that movement by tiny, cell-like assemblies can happen by simple temperature changes, causing these structures to swim.\n
