Shapeshifting protocells hint at the mechanics of early life
Scientists have exhibited another approach to building communities of cell-like entities i.e., protocells using chemical gradients.
Quantum sensors with ultra-high precision
Atoms emit light in the form discrete packets called photons. If measured, these separate packets lead to particularly profound changes in its brightness, as...
