DOI: 10.1002/adma.202210700
Abstract: Living systems create complex structures and functions by mastering self-organization in a variety of equilibrium and nonequilibrium states. Mimicking the dynamical phenomena with synthetic cell-like entities (protocell) under nonequilibrium conditions offers an important step towards… read more here.
