Check out new work by Jordan in collaboration with Aaron Dinner and Petia Vlahovska ! arxiv.org/abs/2503.24120 We consider minimal protocels under non-equilibrium growth conditions and extract low (2) dimensional rules to describe their shapes.

Ever wonder how the first cells took shape? Researchers in the Vaikuntanathan Lab simulated early 'protocells' and found they grow and change shape when they absorb materials from their surroundings. They even made a simple rule to predict this. A cool glimpse into how basic physics
