Team discovers a new approach to unveil the Origin of Life: Evaporation

What is the origin of life? It is a question that has consumed the work and time of scientists for centuries. Recently a group of researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) has shed light on the possible ways forward to examine how living things are formed. The image shows the evaporation-induced phase separation process inside an all-aqueous sessile  droplet (Scale bar: 500 microns). The droplet is initially single-phase with PEG (Polyethylene glycol)  and dextran...
